A meetups tab wouldn't work. It would be worse than going in the discussion section. Nobody checks a meetups tab 'just in case there's one in my town'. Also, they wouldn't appear in the feed readers (because most people wouldn't subscribe to the meetups feed for the same reason).

Perhaps meetup articles can be made with no summary text, therefore becoming visually distinct and leaving much more space for the actual articles?

This seems like an excellent idea. Will do unless there are objections.

Just to verify: For future meetup posts, will adding the meetup tag automatically trigger the summary cut at the top, or we need to do it ourselves? (With this time you or one of the other mods just going in and having edited the posts manually?)

(No objection, seems like a perfectly good idea at least until a better one comes along, just wanted to check if it's going to be automated or if, at least for now, it's still manual)

You can do it yourselves, or I'll do it when I promote the post.
