The problem of attention could easily be solved. No need to have a seperate 'Meetup' section. Use the discussion section, but just have a single thread and put all the meetup areas together in the title. So that instead of the current way, which is:
We'd just have:
Then the details of each individual meetup could be written down in the comments. This way would probably get even more attention, because of the reduced clutter.
Isn't that kind of what the OP is proposing?
Yes, with the inclusion of all the locations in the title itself so as to prevent potential attendees from missing out.
This also has the advantage of needing no new code.
It does need new code. For aggregate threads to work, meetup organizers have to coordinate with whoever is posting them. I don't think that will happen without automation.
If my suggestion were to be adopted, I hereby volunteer to coordinate the meetup threads; it's worth it if only to get the annoying and distracting meetup posts out of Discussion.
It doesn't need to change the site code, and that's dicier than just someone cooking up a bot.
