An advantage of individual meetup posts is having the location in the title, so people who live in the area will recognize it as relevant to themselves and click through and read it.

Titles like "Toronto, London, Budapest meetups-June" could work for this.

Also, it is good to have a comment section for each meetup.

Wouldn't a comment thread work just as well?

I was just thinking about how generating a post like that could be automated, and thought: Why not just make a meetup announcement section, with a meetup announcement widget visible in the main section? "Meetup Date" should be an attribute of a meetup announcement, and the widget should show all future meet ups (ordered by meetup date/post date?) This would get meetup announcement out of the main post lists, but keep them visible on the main site.

For site redesign, go to the thread calling for redesign suggestions, linked in the OP. This is just an interim proposal.
