I participated in a couple of Helsinki meetups, but the atmosphere didn't grab me - it was mostly geeky, slightly awkward discussion about geeky topics. Nothing that I couldn't find plenty of elsewhere. (Any Helsinki meetup attendees reading this shouldn't take it personally. I'm not blaming anyone who was present - I'll be the first to admit that I probably contributed to that atmosphere as much as anyone else.)
Was there anything in particular you were hoping to get more of?
Not sure. The reports of the NYC meetup group might have inflated my expectations, but maybe more of a feeling of being at ease and being able to let down my guard. I acknowledge that I was only in a couple of meetups, and that isn't much time for such a feeling to develop, but I do remember hanging out in groups that put me at ease from pretty much the first time around.
