Would love to audit any Mappy Hours -- though not sure about when. Regarding creating a safe place for people - I think the Maptime US mission statemen <http://maptimesf.tumblr.com/mission>t is pretty powerful. We've tried to reiterate safety in our MapTime NYC About<http://www.meetup.com/Maptime-NYC/>section.
(I don't want to speak too much for Maptime SF, NYC, and PDX so copying some of the key people here) At NYC, I think it's about making sure people are asking questions and there's an active exchange going on. I do that by being ridiculous and asking lots of questions myself. I am sure there are many different ways this could look. Something I've learned in business development - if the "teacher" is talking more than the student then the teacher isn't selling they're telling and the student isn't going to buy.
