Cloud Foundry in the Community Panel
summary
Cloud Foundry meetup organizers describe concrete practices and results: there are 190 meetups on Meetup.com with about 45,000 members across every continent except Antarctica; events run monthly with consistent venues, sponsors that provide space and food (beer helps but nonalcoholic options matter), and formats like two 30-minute talks plus networking or yearly lightning nights (6–8 five-minute slots). Growth comes from cross-posts with Docker/OpenStack/DevOps groups, recruiting speakers from nearby conferences, tracking repeat attendees and post-event socializing, and watching members move into jobs.
