[-1] as others said, I am uncertain if it could split up the community, eg if you dont what hear about meetups you write a filter or just dont watch that thread. However this places extra work on those not wanting to see information about this. And if people are on dozens mailing lists it quickly becomes annoying. I am not one of these i like to see information about meetups and even if I dont go to netherlands, uk etc meetings, its nice to see which topics they discuss etc...
