I think when it's aggregated this way under astronomer-inc It's not **really** in line with how ASF probably would like to see it and with the PMC hat on I'd prefer it to be an "airflow" link.
I am not sure what the fee would be for it, but maybe we can get - for example an astronomer sponsorship to cover it (or whoever else would like to sponsor it) - and get it under the "airflow-meetup" groups - managed and controlled by the PMC ? That would make much more sense and it would likely be a better approach - we could then make an Astronomer displayed as the sponsor of the meetup account - like we do with CI for Astronomer and Amazon. That would seem even better from the point of view of marketing, sharing the link and so on. J.
