Meet-ups: A Grand Vision for a Humble Endeavor

This talk is a love letter to meetups. We'll cover how meet-ups fit into our larger ecosystems, what we could work on collectively to support each other, and maybe even make a plan for saving the world -- one meet-up at a time. The speaker discusses the benefits of meetups for individuals, such as learning new things, making friends, and finding jobs, as well as their importance for communities as entry points and feedback mechanisms. The talk also touches on how to improve and sustain meetups, the role of meetups in promoting open source, and the value of inter-meetup collaboration.
