As always we welcome everyone, you don't need to like Monero, you don't need to know anything about cryptocurrency, if you're interested in these topics and wanna hang out that's all you need 🧡

If you make it you can expect some refreshments and free Monero stickers

Good to see these. I am also trying to kick start a regular Monero meetup here in Turkiye.

I see that you guys are organizing without meetup.com ? That's good, because meetup.com 's fees are unreasonably high. You are planning to spread the word via twitter? or some-platform else?

Twitter, Reddit, I always email computer science and finance departments in local unis too.

If they have researchers who work with crypto then I will email them directly. I try to find people working for crypto companies and contact them directly as well.

In Liechtenstein I emailed the Prince of Liechtenstein, he didn't come, but he did respond lol

I noted down this pro-active approach. Sounds useful.

There was a proposal to set up Mobilizon instance: https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/70#note_21324 (federated & self-hosted platform for events)

Most of the times, the problem isn't the lack of platform, imo. Of course, I do appreciate a free and open source alternative to meetup.com (and maybe we should set up one), but mainly these platforms remain invisible to the general public.

However, I also believe, somehow the ball should get rolling. Maybe using these alternatives will make them more visible to the general public audience. Who knows?
