Glad to help get awareness back out, that’s what these posts are for. How does it sound to schedule a meetup and post it? I’ll put it in the list, and I put meetups for the following week into the headline.
What does it mean to “schedule a meetup and post it”? I get the feeling that there’s a button I’m missing somewhere… (and if it involves making a Post post, I actually have no karma :P)
A few other people on the cambridgelesswrong mailing list have popped up saying they’re coming, so it looks like we’re gathering steam!
The button is next to your total karma score on the right sidebar, under “Create new article”. It’s a special post type which probably also adds the location to the front page “Upcoming meetups” google map pins.
I think it may be a Karma thing. I think you need 20 Karma to post to Main, and I think adding a meetup posts to Main, so I think Adding a meetup requires you to have 20 Karma. I created a new dummy account with 0 Karma to check, and I couldn’t make a Meetup either, so it’s not just you.
Thanks for checking that! I apparently have 5 karma now, and the Add A New Meetup button has appeared, so the karma-required seems to be there instead.
Cambridge, UK’s regular meetup seems to have died a little bit, but me and one other person are looking to get it started again.
Would it be possible to shout out a Helpful Reminder About Its Existence on the next aggregation post?

Yea, I’m not seeing it. “Create new article”, “Preferences”, and “Log out”.

Looks like Douglas_Reay made the meetup post http://lesswrong.com/meetups/f7 , so cheers!
