Hi Ned! (This is a really nice idea btw)... I have a question regarding Steemit Meetups. It seems like IRL gatherings of Steemit community members can be a huge asset... in terms of public visibility / morale / also as a catalyst for collaborations. Does Steemit Inc. have plans to formalize more regular global meetups? Could this be something that the Community feature might play a part in both digitally and physically?
Meetups are great! The more community organized meetups become the better for organizing purposes -- and with Sub-Communities (an upcoming feature) moderators should find incentives to host their own meetups which would make it self-sustaining!
Thanks so much for the reply! Looking forward to the Sub-Communities feature!
Wow this is very informative as me and my fellow Filipino steemians are working out on organizing meetups in the Philippines ;-)) Thank you for the good news and opportunity @ned ;-))
It's wonderful ! With @steemquebec, we want to be a local chapter for the Steem blockchain (and the Steemit community of course !). We already organize Steem and blockchain information session (a course of 1 hour and half on the blockchain ecosystem with a focus on steem) and "pioneer's breakfast" (networking breakfast for newcomers in Steemit) at Montreal, Quebec.
