Dear All Just a reminder to let us know if your group has been affected by the shut-down of Meetup Everywhere. As this might leave some local groups without event management tools, a suggestion has been made to install the Events Manager WordPress plugin on local sites on request. If you think this would be useful for you, please do let us know! You can view and contribute to the discussion here: http://discuss.okfn.org/t/meetup-everywhere-is-closing-what-do-we-do/126/ Events Manager plugin info: http://wp-events-plugin.com/ We have extracted lists of names and Meetup IDs from the Meetup Everywhere platform so we should be able to assist you contacting members to direct them to your new event management platform, whichever you choose.
