Reactivating Inactive MeetupMeetup Meetup groups are locally-organized groups that get together for face-to-face events on a regular basis (commonly once a month). Learn more about Meetups in our Meetup Organizer Handbook. Groups

There are some community members helping with reactivation in some cities like: Karachi, Pakistan, Buenos Aires, Argentina. This month we are reactivating 370 inactive meetup groups around the globe. Also, there are some shared experiences in how to help to tackle challenges on the existing groups.

Community team meetings

A doubt was raised by community team members about the number of sessions per meeting. While other teams have only one session per meeting, they asked if the community team should also switch to one session each month instead of our traditional two sessions. 

Some attendees agreed, if the meeting is running asynchronously, one session is ok.

WordCamp Websites SEO 

@Taco Verdo brought a topic to the table:

“Something I’d like to bring to the attention is that our WordCamp websites need love, from an online marketing/SEO perspective. Old WordCamp websites are outranking current/upcoming WordCamps, WordCamp pages shared on social media don’t have proper descriptions/images, and quite a few more issues. Unfortunately, this is not a new problem, but I feel it’s important that we keep repeating the pain.” 

According to some attendees, this is something that requires attention in order to improve SEO in events sites.

Next Meeting
