I respect people may not want to be a part of meetup due to privacy concerns. I have the intention of continuing to communicate the meetings using the penguinsunbound.com website. But as the coordinator of the group the benefits were enough to cover the organizer dues myself rather than trying to maintain self managed software. Anyone concerned can continue to reference the website for meeting times. I also felt we as a group could grow from the other IT professionals in the twin cities already on meetup that may not be aware of the group if they never had heard of us before.
