Slashdot Meetup Reminder
Just a little reminder that Slashdot meetup is today! Sorry to the folks on the other side of the dateline for not posting this earlier. Check it out at slashdot.meetup.com we've had some 5000 people register all over the world so we thought a reminder ping was in order. The original story is available too. We won't be there this month as we're at OSCON today. But we'll be there next month perhaps. If you do go to a meetup put in a submission about it and we'll do a wrapup tonight or tomorrow sometime.
You go to the Slashdot meetup website, register with your email address and zip code, and the site tells you where the meetup is in your area.

Look on the bright side...it could have been at a McDonald's or a Hardee's. From what I've been able to make out from scoping out the venue choices in my home town, going to a Meetup held in a parking lot, and thinking about it, they must have populated their venue list by grepping on keywords in the online yellow pages.
The best way to turn the trend around? Submit some really cool local places using their new venue submission form.
