I missed an entry for GetTogether (github.com/GetTogetherComm/GetToge... and gettogether.community/) in the notables list. It's a great alternative, already deployed, federated.
Do you care to add it to the list? The Telegram discussion group is growing since Meetup's announcement :D
Added!
gettogether.community makes me nervous because there is no imprint and no human with a name mentioned anywhere on the page.
Nice compilation of meetup alternatives!
Also, I just wanted to point out this related discussion here:

Context
So meetup.com maybe planning to charge a $2 per RSVP - this will effectively kill any "free meetup". So as a meetup co-organizer myself, this is me researching for a plan to mitigate this!
Open Source Solutions (with demo)
Get Together
GIT - DEMO
Most feature complete, one-to-one with meetup.com, as it was part of its original design goals.

I came across an app called outist, which looks really similar to meetup. Looks to be in beta testing at the moment.
Thank you for this review of alternatives!
Could you please also add timepad.ru?
It's like Eventbrite, but for Russia. It's very popular for meetup organizers.
community-z.com - interesting community platform
There is also kommunity.com. It's also pretty great.
Added to the list!
