I really miss old meetups where people would just present their open source projects and discuss technical topics. To add a counterpoint, I, on the other hand, am burnt out on these kinds of meetups. For short 5-10min lightning talks, I think presenting projects or libraries is fantastic for discovery, but longer talks about specific projects bore the hell out of me 9 out of 10 times. I can learn faster in my own time and its difficult to match the topic (and level: beginner? expert?) with the audience. Visionary talks are harder to miss with and therefore safer bets to not bore me.
