I’m looking at starting a small local Linux Users Group (LUG).

What are good easy ways to get started?

Seems like meetup.com is kinda anti-foss.

Are there better alternatives?

      I really, genuinely like Mobilizon, but the network effect is real, sadly, there aren’t nearly as many people there. I’d probably suggest doing both, and maybe the like-minded people that you find on meetup can follow on Mobilizon, and help that cause as well. Meetup has nothing special, except for lots of people that go there to find events.

        I believe the idea is that you run your own instance if none of the existing one fits your need.

        If you do set one up for LUGs you can, if you want, decide to then open it up for LUGs organizers elsewhere.
