summary
Built a decentralized Cloud Native Nordics network of 12 meetup groups across five countries with almost 6,000 members and 95 meetups, using a GitHub-backed workflow that stores meetup metadata as YAML and generates pages and stats. Tooling includes meetup-kit (Go binary that pulls Meetup.com data), workshopctl plus code-server to give each attendee a one‑node Kubernetes cluster (DigitalOcean credits) and browser VS Code, and a static site wired to Flux/CI for discoverability.
