We had our second Seattle Podcast Meetup at Six Arms this evening, and our attendance almost doubled (from 3 to 5 🙂 ). I definitely need to do a better job as an organizer, because when you don’t have signs posted, and you don’t tell people where to meet (i.e., upstairs), it is very hard to get a group together when you don’t know what people look like! We were able to get five grouped together, but we did miss one person who couldn’t find us…
All in all, it was a very positive gathering, I think… discussed the different sites maintained by attendees (Crapmonkey, HOT Radio, and Syndic8) — and, talked about ideas for projects… primarily working on getting a Seattle Podcaster/ee site up and running on one of the generic domains that we own — keep your eyes peeled for more.
Finally, I got an email from MeetUp this week, telling me that they’re moving toward charging a monthly fee for their service — now, I understand that they need to make $$$… I really do! But, I find it strange that they didn’t maintain ANY free element to their service, such as the first 3 months free… but, maybe I’ll pay… we’ll see how the group grows over the next few weeks/months.
