This is a Meteor App that can be used to organize, manage, and market your Meetup group. It was built by the Meteor Vegas Meetup Group.
- One-click sign in with Meetup.com OAuth integration
- Pulls new meetup events from Meetup.com every 30 minutes
- Displays members who have RSVP'd on Meetup.com
- Allows members to RSVP to meetups directly from your site
Create your meetup on Meetup.com as usual, and the event will be added to your site within 30 minutes (or manually via the button on the /meetups page). Once it is on your site, you can add topics and presenters, and even feature it on your homepage.
The topics page allows your members to suggest topics that they would like to hear about in upcoming meetups. Other members can vote on and discuss the topics, allowing the organizers to easily choose which topics should be presented next.
The presentations page gives you a centralized location to store all of your group's presentations. Members can upload their presentations to YouTube, SlideShare, etc, and simply paste a link into the "Add Presentation" form.
Members are granted activity points when performing certain activities. These points are displayed on their profile, and the member list is sorted by those with the most points.
- Liked a Presentation: 5 points
- Commented on a Presentation: 5 points

This app uses Less and Bootstrap for easy customization. Simply change or add Less variables in client/stylesheets/variables.import.less to change your brand colors or modify the theme.
Additionally, we make use of CSS blend modes to dynamically change the color of background images based on your $brand-primary color. As an example:
