@PappyOyler We skew sky and introverted. Sometimes it takes a lot of extra effort to reach out to the quiet people.

I’m keen to make Wellington WordPress meetup monthly, because we have 280 in our group now, and we have like 1 meetup a year. I just worry I won’t be able to keep interest up with good meetup ideas. The Q&As definitely bore the devs haha.

@AdamThomson As you start, you’ll have ideas.
-
@ShawnHooper EPIC

@PappyOyler Sure, you have 494 on meetup. How many show up on a regular basis? I find most people on meetup are just lurking.
-
exactly – 10 is a huge IRL meetup

The Innevation Center is a great venue.
