[wp-forums] Meetups forum

[Jane Wells]

Hi guys (used with completely non-gender-specific intent). We made a 
forum last night labeled Meetups as a stepping stone to some of the 
stuff that I'm working on around using profiles and geolocation to help 
people find each other for organizing meetups and WordCamps. The usual 
rules apply re ejecting spammers and trolls. Additionally, since this 
one if for a specific purpose, I'd like to limit the off-topic posting, 
as it will increase noise and make people less likely to use this forum 
as a tool. To that end, I'll probably try to spend some time moderating 
it, and if people go afield, will guide them back and/or remove 
irrelevant posts (would notify author and say why, obviously). If people 
try to use it for anything other than organizing a local meetup, they 
should be bumped to another more appropriate forum.

P.S. I never did hear back from anyone suggesting someone to act as a 
'forums lead' when I posted about it before. I'd still like to do that, 
as I'd like to get the forum volunteers more into the main core 
contributor feedback loop so your on-the-ground experience helping users 
can influence how we prioritize ongoing development of core, as well 
doing a better job of providing recognition for these contributions. 
Think of it as electing a representative. Who does a great job *and* is 
someone you would feel comfortable representing the forum volunteers? 
You can reply to me of-list on that one. Thanks.
