Wow. Posting it somewhere else to get more people doesn't mean you have to register for the site. Meetup does, Get your head out of your keister.

I respect people may not want to be a part of meetup due to privacy concerns. I have the intention of continuing to communicate the meetings using the penguinsunbound.com website. But as the coordinator of the group the benefits were enough to cover the organizer dues myself rather than trying to maintain self managed software. Anyone concerned can continue to reference the website for meeting times. I also felt we as a group could grow from the other IT professionals in the twin cities already on meetup that may not be aware of the group if they never had heard of us before.

Not private or self-governed. Many may not want their names submitted to this commercial operation. I'd like to hear of Penguins things, but not this way.

Hello everyone, We have created a meetup site for Penguins Unbound. This should enable us to better communicate group activities, meeting times, place availability, etc. I hope all interested will join meetup and RSVP for the March 21st 10AM meeting so I can get accurate attendance numbers. This will also help on topic interest and meeting place requirements. (Future dates will be added once I get time). The site: http://www.meetup.com/PenguinsUnbound/ I plan on talking a bit about piwigo (the open source gallery software) http://piwigo.org/ David may present some material he's been working on about customer success in SaaS. I am waiting for confirmation on the place but will announce it once that is completed.
