[Linux-aus] Spamming meetup.com

[Simon Lyall]

So I was in the process of contacting various meetup group organisers to 
ask them if they could post a link to the LCA Miniconf's Call for 
Sessions and LCA in general.

https://linux.conf.au/programme/miniconfs/

However Meetup.com's spam filters quickly blocked me.

So it would be great if you are a member of any of the Meetups below (or 
other relevant meetups) if you could ask the Meetups' Organiser's if they 
could post something (or you could post yourself, please use your 
judgement).

Meetup.com is a major place for tech people these days and for many the 
only way they interact with the community. So it is a great way at getting 
the word out.

Subject: Publicity and meetups

In Previous years I tried getting some publicity via Meetup groups. Unfortunely 
it looks like meetup have turned up their Spam filters so I can't even message 
group owners asking them to push out something. :(

I have a big list of Meetup Groups to Target. I am almost leaning towards just 
forwaring this list to Linux-aus and asking people to see if they are members 
of any of the groups and post it to them.

Thoughts?

Anyway here is the list of groups, followed by my Sysadmin Orientated message 
and my more general Miniconf Message.
