Hi all--

Us assistant organizers have the option to add two things to the  
calendar: meetings and notes. My sense of it is, meetings are  
meetings, and all other events-- SIGs, Dorkbots, Maker Fairs, etc.--  
go in as notes. Notes don't have all the advantages of meetings:  
people can't RSVP, and Meetup doesn't send out reminders and  
announcements. If the consensus is that the BSII SIG should be a  
meeting, there might be a way to have Meetup automatically add it to  
the calendar each week, although I haven't really explored that  
option since in the past I haven't created any meetings, just notes.
