I would not like to see Meetup.com become a 'de facto' requirement for usergroups as there are othger ways of setting up their informations. Although it might be ONE way of doing things. > > 2.

Personaly I think that it would be best, to make it easy to get the informations about events in one central place. And when a group adds a link to the joind.in-event to their Kalendar-Event that link will then show up in a centralized event-calendar so you can get to the information rather easily. And I wouldn't want to create a second joind.in with speaker names, location. description etc as the existing one already is great! Or h > > 3.
