I was just talking about this with one of my business partners. We run a pretty big meetup (~4500), and although I've had no real reason to disagree with them in the past, the recent changes haven't been well received.
I've been following the FCC efforts. There are a few projects in a similar vein, some more advanced than others. The "vein" being siloed and self-hosted. Personally, I'd much rather have something on a hosted platform with discovery. Essentially meetup, with some more control over what happens. Seems like you'd be a natural option for the tech world, but the other issue with FCC and others is that replicating "meetup" is certainly not trivial. There's a lot of work to make something functional enough.
I know a lot of good people at meetup, so I also hope they get the message and reset, but we'll see how it goes.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
