Hey, Yesterday I was browsing around Meetup.com, and found another group called Worcester Web Technology <http://www.meetup.com/Worcester-Web-Technology/>, and they are also meeting at WPI, apparently on the third Thursday of every month. (today) I recommend WLUG also create a meetup group for attracting new members. Also Meetup is nice for sending out reminder emails about the meetings on the day before. Cheers, Henrique "nican" Polido.

WLUG has a mailing list, and I get mail from it regularly. It works. I am violently, foaming mad, opposed to the idea of giving that mailing list to any third party. This includes Facebook, Yahoo, Google, as well as meetup.com, which I have never heard of. What advantage could there possibly be? If somebody wants to plant a pointer to the WLUG web page there, or most anywhere else, then go ahead. I can't stop you and I don't want to try. -- Keith

That isn't how meetup works. People who desire to be a part of the meetup group would sign themselves up, just as they sign themselves up for this mailing list. There are no plans to retire this mailing list.
