I apologize if my last message was rude. I didn't realize that mail may
be delayed and was in fear that my messages were not being received by
the mailing list.<br>
<br>
There are many features Meetup offers that could enhance the Python
Users group: Calendars that contain locations, saved locations that you
can reuse so you don't have to reenter information, a configurable
reminder for meetings, and a mailing list quite similar to this one.<br>
<br>
A meet up group I started in March 2007:<br>
<br>
March 2007: 35 members (7 % participation)<br>
March 2008: 98 members (50% participation)<br>
Beginning of June 2008: 119 members (57% participation)<br>
<br>
The old version of Meetup provided statistics; I have to find out where
statistics are in the new version of Meetup.<br>

covering the cost because he just offered to do it for free. I'm
assuming that you didn't catch Ishmael's offer before you sent your

Is it me, or does certain messages take forever to get through?
Anywho. Long as it doesn't cost us. I don't care too much.

I think an email did not go through.

response.

How might MeetUp help capture the other 20%?
