Maintaining a Local Dev Meetup
summary
Local groups combine a struggling PHP and JavaScript meetup into one, share organizing duties, adopt a code of conduct, and use meetup.com plus shared calendars and email to keep schedules straight. They build a small collaborative project on github com/Rockford web/paste bin over six months, which boosts turnout from single digits to a steady 12–15 (peaks 20–25). Practical wins: sponsored space, pizza, reliable internet, and visible contributor commits.
