I checked their YouTube, nothing recent there.

I can't recall, but acquiring new members is still an unsolved problem.

Meetup.com (yuck), maybe a local university's computer science Reddit, 
social media (short TikTok videos about Linux), etc.

It's all about going to where the user base is, which is where most of 
us don't want to be.

I don't think they are doing that - where'd you see a calendar?


I see a simple list of meeting dates:

THIS is a NextCloud calendar embedded in a WordPress site, showing all 
the tech meetups I know about:
