How about if meetups were linked from the front page in a separate section so people see them, but the links led to Discussion area posts?

Forgive my quick and ugly graphic.

This looks good to me. If people could agree to post meetups in a very specific format, I could make a scraper to extract the times, dates, locations, (and whatever else) directly from the discussion posts, and produce text like what you show directly for the front page, say displaying meetups in the next month. We'd still need someone to edit the front page template to include said text though.

(Note also that if I had been thinking more, I would have pasted in older front page content that was not meetups...)
