Follow-ups via Meetup Everywhere

[afknapping]

Every local Rails Girls event has the same problem of organizing follow-up meetups. I personally thought that it would be great to use Meetup Everywhere for this.

@lindaliukas then told me via twitter that this already exists at http://www.meetup.com/Rails-Girls/ and that it just wasn't implemented and promoted yet.

We need to take care of distinguishing the MeetUps from the main events (eg http://www.meetup.com/Rails-Girls/Washington-DC/762812/), but I think this more about writing clear copy. So I would propose this as a starting draft:

You don't have to wait until the next major Rails Girls Event happens in your city: Join or start a local MeetUp to find fellow (future) Rails Girls, get info about when the next event might happen or find people to organize one!

This also opens the possibility for coaches and attendees to do the MeetUps themselves, which could take work off the local organizers.

A quick mockup:

The Nearby-Meetups widget is here: http://www.meetup.com/Rails-Girls/widgets/

What do people think of this? There's not much to lose by trying this.

I am willing to try it out. I will be organising a meet up soon as a follow
up to our first event in Munich on Okt. 12. and 13.

LG,
Sara
