A meetup is exactly what it sounds like. Anyone who wants to, can join the list for free, and attend social gatherings away from their keyboards for a few hours each month. Laptops are welcome, though! Grin!
These meetups are typically held at a coffee shop, or your favourite watering hole, and anyone can "host" the meetup. Hosting typically means arranging sufficient space for the attendees at the selected meeting place.
Meetups are held in almost every major city in the world, and in countless smaller cities, towns, and assorted "holes-in-the-wall! <g>
Still, it's a good idea, since you get to meet others who enjoy Linux, and there's a good chance that you can find answers to your annoying problems, even Linux related ones!
Have a look at this site, and see if it's something you might enjoy.
