There were some purely virtual meetups, but there are technical problems when connecting too many people. Like, ten or more.
You could just go ahead and announce your own virtual meetup. Create a public google document where participants can write their names, and set a limit to, say, maximum seven participants per meetup. (If someone realizes they will not be able to come, they should remove their name from the list, to allow other people to join.)
If you want, you could make it a recurring event, e.g. once in a week.
I am weighing my options on trying to start a meetup myself. I've considered the possiblity of starting an Alabama LW meet up. But when the nearest city with a population over 50,000 is 55 miles away, I feel the density of LWers in the area would be too small to sustain it. Or start it at all. I certainly know of no one personally who would be interested, though I could still use it as an excuse to sit in a coffee shop and read.
Who are some of the groups that do virtual meetups? If nothing else, I'd like to see how others have tried this. Could give me some ideas for a set up of my own.
