In Tel Aviv, we have three types of meetings, all on Tuesdays. Monthly we have a full meeting, usually a lecture or sometimes Rump Sessions (informal lightning talks). Typical attendance is 12.
Monthly, alternating fortnights from the above, we do game nights.
We are graciously hosted by Meni Rosenfeld's Cluster startup hub. (For a few years we were hosted at Google.)
On other Tuesdays a few LessWrongers get together at a pub.
How did you go about finding people to come to your meetups? Pre-existing friends? LW site postings? Something else?
One of the most valuable services the Less Wrong community has to offer are the meetup groups. However, it strikes me that there isn't a lot of knowledge sharing between different meetup groups. Presumably there's a lot that the different groups could learn from each other -- things that can be done, experiments that have or haven't worked out, procedural and organisational tips. Hence this post. Please go ahead and write a summary about your local less wrong meetup below:
