Measures should be taken to make sure that, if it doesn’t happen now, it will happen in a few months. Such as having half a dozen people simultaneously set a notification for december, and also tell themselves “it’s december, I’m going to schedule a rogue meetup” in case the notification itself fails to fire or make itself reasonably noticeable.
. . . You know, I hadn’t considered that people would assume this should be done today, on the day I posted it. I totally should have. I’ve been humming along writing meetups-in-boxes assuming local organizers would run them on their own local schedules, basically planning for this to be evergreen content. Obviously in hindsight this one would look different if you just saw it on the front page.
Why is right now a bad time to do it? Seems ideal to me. Neither of the Solstice are close, ACX everywhere and EAGx are about to flood most communities. I think it’s the perfect time to give existing organizers a couple weeks off.
This is an amazing idea
Right now might be a very bad time to do it.
