 ners | Meetup.com has increased their price from $10 to $20 per month, so I'm considering moving our group to a self-hosted libre platform. das-g has already suggested this in the past, and this price increase is a nice excuse to finally do it.
Any suggestions what we could use?

I do wonder if we won't lose out on discoverability then, how many people found the group through meetup? | 09:34:51 |
| infinisil | Could maybe do a poll | 09:35:08 |
| infinisil | This would be the same reason why we're still using GitHub | 09:35:29 |

I do wonder if we won't lose out on discoverability then, how many people found the group through meetup? My anecdotal experience so far has been that very few people find the group through Meetup, because a) few people use meetup to begin with (many new Nixers register on meetup just to attend our events), and b) meetup's own discoverability is really suboptimal. If you put "nix zurich" in meetup's search, you can't find our group unless you know the UI very well. | 09:36:44 |
| ners | Just recently we reached out to some college campuses around Switzerland to spread the word of the upcoming ZHF: | 09:38:59 |

 nerevarthelord | I'm a newbie here and I am here thanks to meetup.com.
I was just looking around for some nerd meetups and found nixers group there. Have never heard of nix before that, but now I'm interested in learning it further and trying it.
If you want this kind of "fresh fish" joining - I think meetup.com is a good source for those. Otherwise, if you're looking only for experienced Linuxoids - it might be worth replacing meetup group with a gemini site :) | 12:29:30 |
| ners | That's amazing, welcome aboard! | 12:44:02 |

I've heard more hackerspace moving away from meetup for this reason. Also closed source, so no fun :-) | 19:23:50 |

| @koen:procolix.com | We will be arriving on Friday evening and driving back on Monday morning. There is still room in the car for one more person (especially if that person has a driving license) :) | 19:25:16 |

anyone fancy a round of ice bathing tomorrow? No, it's too warm, I just came from Iceland | 12:54:05 |
| Marc Jakobi | lake water temperature should be around 4 °C tomorrow (around the same as in Iceland, unless you're talking about a river). | 13:03:19 |
