So how do these work? I want to propose one for my city (Toronto) but I am not sure if I can handle the logistics. Or do people just pick a common place to meet

- _rovyko 8y agoYou'd need a landing page where you can post details and get feedback. There are few discussions in the thread about open platforms, but I also started a community on https://spectrum.chat/canada https://spectrum.chat/canada. I'm Toronto-Waterloo based. Let me know if you have any ideas. In my experience, if the groups is small enough but has sociable members, they will just agree on a time and half the expected number of people will show up. Even 5 people is a success IMO.
- qqn 8y agoMe three! Often in Hamilton for days/weeks at a time but frequently in Toronto and certainly no stranger to (U)Waterloo.
- braythwayt 8y agoReg “raganwald” Braithwaite here. If you want to organize an HN meetup in Toronto, I can make space available at the PagerDuty offices, whether it’s for six, or a hundred and six. Most people call me “reg,” and my work email domain is pagerduty.com.
- braythwayt 8y agop.s. If you get things rolling, let me know early and I’ll tweet about it. Not sure how many Torontonians follow me, but it wouldn’t hurt to get the word out...

- wawhals 8y agoHey HN lurker here! I've been thinking of starting a Toronto HN meetup for some time too. Structuring it as a one person job seems a little too much though. More happy to chat and see if we could coordinate something.
