Looking for alternatives to meetup.com
Hello PSF Community, as many of you know, meeptup.com is pretty much the standard when it comes to organizing user group meetings - at least in the US, the UK and probably also some other countries. Now, meetup.com is also a rather expensive service to use and with the PSF funding the fees, I'd like to investigate, whether encouraging use of alternative services wouldn't result in a better use of the PSFs grant funds. These are some services I've found: * http://www.eventbrite.com/ (free for free events) * https://www.farornear.com/ (free) * http://attending.io/ (free) * https://www.xing.com/de/events (free for free events, much like eventbrite, used often in Germany) For BarCamps: * https://www.barcamptools.eu/ (again, mostly in Germany) Some questions: * Do you know other such services ? * What's your experience with these ? * If you're running a group on meetup.com, would you be willing to move to a different platform ? I think it would be good to collect this information on a python.org wiki page to better guide new user groups to meetup.com alternatives.
