Amol, I think a direct link to meetup site is a great idea.  This way users
will always see the most up to date information.

I have made the proposed change to the community page.
http://apex.incubator.apache.org/community.html

For future meetups, we can keep updating it manually for now, but I will
look at options to call Meetup API and generate this list.  The only issue
is if I only include upcoming events from Apex meetup groups, we will miss
other groups, which may be covering Apex, like
http://www.meetup.com/hadoop/events/228573587/ for example.  So it may have
to be a string search, which may occasionally include unwanted meetups.

If anybody has suggestions on this, please comment.

Thanks,
Sasha
