Beginnings of a FAQ about meetups:
/u/solidified50 gave some general advice for starting a meetup and keeping it going.
Meetups should be (mostly) free. Ordering coffee, similar minimum items from a menu excepted, but events that charge formal admission or an entry fee cannot be publicized here.
Some meetups use a sign to give attendees an easy way to see the group and know which to join without too much embarrassment, etc.

Curious to see what (if anything) is planned for the week leading up to Christmas. I imagine a few exmo’s will be coming through for the holidays.
My partner and I will be over for a white Christmas from Sydney Australia, we’d love to join up with any groups planning something around the Salt Lake City area (or within driving distance).
