We also have a section of the white board wall dedicated to What's
happening at Uncubed This Week which helps members know what meetups are

Meetup has been working well for us even as we built up the community
prior to having a space. Because our meetup group is open to anyone
(even non-members) it's a nice place to see new faces and talk being
mobile even if those people don't want to cowork. I think it's easy
to use and the members
