That’s where I draw the line with attending your meetups, Alex
-
@KenKramer ditto
-
We have three organizers so that helps us cover if someone cannot make it
-
I had just moved to SoCal
-
thanks
-
Meetup info here: https://make.wordpress.org/community/meetups/
-
Yes, I recruited two SoCal people when I wanted to start the Meetup in IEWP. We had nothing.
-
@bamadesigner meetup southern style

-
Andrea is great.
-
@jasontucker jinx
-
Ha ha @alexjvasquez you are doing well.
-
same with ours…
-
free beer
-
can you use the WP name in an “unofficial” meetup?
-
@PappyOyler We are.
-
Yeah same with us. I started it on my own and was sponsoring our Group but it is different because meetup fees are gone.
-
Free up to so many, then it goes up at 50 people
-
I’m so profesh
-
$9.99/month up to 50 people and then $14.99/month
-
And if I ever relocate i can simply pass the organizer-ship to someone else.
-
@VeriousSmithIII yep
-
Meetup pricing is a sham
-
Dan Milward was our original meetup organiser. He is kinda awol…
-
LOL… good recruiting tool.
-
shouldn’t be based off of members
-
Dan!
-
Yeah we always say we’ll get coffee when we talk but it’s been a couple years now haha. I think he’s super focused on game dev now.
-
…in WordPress. gamefroot.com is actually -amazing- behind the scenes.
-
@bamadesigner you asked a question? #scrollingback
-
My question wasn’t worthy of Alex
-
I asked if you had any tips for people considering starting a meetup
-
They’re doing great stuff with the rest API
-
Is there some kind of special button for questions?
-
We did a meetup on three different form options (Contact Forms 7, Gravity Forms and a 3rd one I cannot recall now)
-
naw just ask
-
That is how i get people to my meetup. I invite them to speak at the IEWP Meetup.
-
Oh. Some people had what looked like question icons next to their messages
-
@bamadesigner slash q
-
@bamadesigner the one thing I would say is that best communities often start as the smallest communities
-
@bamadesigner whats youre question
-
/q does it
-
@YouTooCanBeGuru Of course we didn’t see that article until AFTER we started up. 馃槈
-
Tips For Starting:
-
@JenBlogs4U We knew. #teamwork
-
Initial meetup can be just to introduce each other and get contact info
