I support the idea of a separate subreddit for posting meetup posts, with its own segment of the sidebar so it can be monitored during browsing of the rest of the site.
I think this would be the best solution. To compress the information further, it would also be good if the sidebar block only showed meetups yet to happen, and all others relegated to a "past meetups" link. As of today, April 11, it might look like (but with nice fonts and everything):
That would need some automatic way of discerning what the date of a meetup is.
Perhaps a form to fill out to generate meetups.
This would be good. "Region", "Date", "Time", "Location", "Identifying Features", "Notes".
Of the contact person?
Yes, like "I look like this" or "I will be wearing thus and so" or "look for the enormous paperclip sign".
IMO, there's a distinction between regular meetups, and one-shot meetups. It wouldn't make sense for a newcomer to see only one-shot meetups on the list, when a community in their city already exists.
Perhaps some sort of calendar would make sense, where anyone can post one-shot meetups, and regular meetups are represented by a recurring event.
