May I suggest that all "meetup" posts be removed to their own thread (or perhaps a calendar on a separate portion of the site) so that our RSS feeds aren't littered with irrelevant meeting appointments?

Perhaps a wiki page for each area with a regular meetup would be appropriate - then any changes to the page would be advertised via "Recent Wiki Edits". (Alternately, a Google Calendar widget could be embedded in the page with a minor template change.)

I made a page for Helsinki meetups in the wiki: http://wiki.lesswrong.com/wiki/Helsinki_meetup_group

People who are interested in attending can subscribe to the Atom feed with a RSS reader to receive updates.

That is, assuming this actually was a good idea and will get used for further meetup coordination.

Well, it's resulted in it showing on the page now. We might want to ask the site admins to put a "Meetups" link in the site's top-level menu, going to a wiki (category?) page listing the various meetups' location pages. There are certainly enough meetups happening for that to make sense.

Actually, somebody doing a monthly "Meetups" thread, analagous to the monthly quotes thread, would probably also be a good idea.

Of course, this entire discussion probably belongs on one of the Improving Less Wrong threads, but I'm not sure how to find them...
