Typically they get announced when I remember to announce them, as well as when I have info to post. This one could have been announced a few days ago, but I was waiting until tonight to send the email.
Sometimes we don’t have a speaker until a day or two before, so I could have a generic meeting announcement, but that is the same as saying that we have a meeting the first Thursday of the month. I refuse to use meetup, as it has become painfully expensive to use. You pay by persons signed up, so if a few hundred sign up, we are on the hook for more cash than I am willing to spend. We had one and when it started to cost real money, we stopped using it. I can do something a little simpler though. I can add a calendar to the site. It is easy enough to do, as I use if for another group. I may have set portions of it up already, I'll have to check. Anyway, there will be a subscribe link there that provides an ical and other subscription. I could even make it sit on the front page of the web site and have things link back to the wiki. More thought needed here, but there are only so many hours in a day and I have reached saturation. I expect it will get a little calmer soon, but right now I’m rather busied out. So for the next meeting, expect the email and website updates to happen tonight.
