[19:57] <pleia2> fwiw, meetup.com has been very good for our events discoverability-wise, so far I think it has bumped the number of people who attend
[19:58] <pleia2> but I've noticed that there is a high percentage of people who sign up and never show, much higher than I've seen for other RSVP systems
[19:58] <pleia2> I think that's a "thing" with free meetup groups, I've seen it happen with other groups too
[19:59] <pleia2> and I would like to keep the LTP (and/or an "email me to RSVP) option as long as we can, there is still strong opposition to using the proprietary, aggressive meetup.com tooling and a lot of folks here simply won't
[20:00] <lynorian> pleia2, yeah I agree lots of people sign up to meetups then don't show
[20:40] <DonkeyHotei> it's like a like button i guess
[21:31] <philipballew> Putting signs with free food helped me. But then people showed up for the food and nothing else.
[21:36] <nhandler> I'm guilty of clicking the button on meetup and not showing (although I do try and update my rsvp when possible). Clicking the button adds it to my calendar, sends me reminders, and sends me updates from the organizers.
[23:22] <philipballew> I like how meetup.com can add it to your calender. Thats probably its best feature for me.
[23:34] <lynorian> it does not have calcurse support
