 aciceri | Hi everyone,
I hope you're doing well. I wanted to ask if it’s possible to get a refund for our Meetup subscription, which costs around 200 EUR per year. We've had great success with the NixOS Milano meetups over the past year, and they’ve been a key part of growing our community.
Here’s our Meetup page: NixOS Milano Meetup
And our website: NixOS Milano
Given the positive outcomes, I wanted to check if the subscription cost could be reimbursed. Let me know what you think!

I‘d be in favor
(Not affiliated with the Milan group in any way)
Ideally we’d use this occasion as food for thought: how can we build on-ramps for such fruitful activities to eventually use pooled community resources (in this case: an official NixOS meetup account) in order to save costs at scale? | 23:51:33 |

 lassulus | Yeah a pooled meetup.com account would be nice. But not sure how much we would care about migrating members and AFAIK there is a cap at meetup.com for only 3 different meetups | 02:33:02 |

 djacu | So meetup has an offering called Meetup Pro where you can create an unlimited number of groups. Looks like it is targeted towards global organizations. I'm not able to find pricing information but looks worth investigating

https://www.meetup.com/meetup-pro/ Maybe we could get something set up that isn't ridiculously expensive | 19:27:21 |
| Tristan Ross | Maybe trialing it first with 3 groups for like a month and if it works out, then we look into the pro option? | 19:31:59 |

| Tristan Ross | In reply to @djacu:matrix.org
What's the goal of the trial? To see how it impacts the visibility of groups | 19:33:34 |
| Tristan Ross | I assume that we're trying to use meetup to make finding groups easier | 19:33:57 |
| djacu | In reply to @rosscomputerguy:matrix.org
I assume that we're trying to use meetup to make finding groups easier It would be interesting to see how much of an impact that has.
@zrsk any notion of how different people came to find your meetup? Was it through meetup, word of mouth, official spaces, or something else?
Also 94 members! Nice! :D
