The Bay Area #Clojure User Group on Meetup is about to be shut down.
It was founded on 8th January 2009.
It has 1741 members.
@dotemacs do you mean the group itself is disbanding, or just that it's closing its presence on meetup.com?
@technomancy I suspect that whoever was running it, no longer had interest in keeping it going.
At which point, meetup messages/emails all the members to ask them if they want to keep it going.
So far I didn’t see anybody stepping up
@dotemacs we've gone through multiple group managers over the years but running a regular group is hard work, esp. if you want in-person meetings; we've had several discussions about trying to restart it in the #clojure-bay-area Slack channel that have ultimately gone nowhere... @technomancy
@dotemacs Ideally, the group needs a corporate sponsor to provide a meeting space (and maybe drinks/snacks); I ran it for two years ages ago and logistics are just a nightmare really @technomancy
