I launched http://www.hackerlunch.com http://www.hackerlunch.com It lets hackers meet up with each other for lunch (and hopefully an interesting chat). You basically make a post stating when and where you are free to have lunch and others can join in. Launched it a few days ago but unfortunately haven't received much interest or feedback. I will probably release another polished version in a month and see if it gets more traction.

Make it more social. Once a lunch slot is posted, give it an unique url, encourage users to publish it to facebook/twtter, etc. Store user's location, advice if the new lunch slot can invite any existing users in the same region, etc. Keep on working on it. Nice to have, can't see how it could be acquired, or make enough for ramien, or anything like that.

  Thanks for the feedback. I noticed that you did not use the site to post a lunch-meetup, is it because you aren't interested in meeting up with others at the moment, or is it because the site lacks features? I am working to make the interface a bit more appealing (new design: http://i.imgur.com/KOaA8.jpg http://i.imgur.com/KOaA8.jpg). Then I will move on to add integration with facebook and twitter and let users do more with their posts (invites, privacy, comments, geo-tagging, etc.). As for the future, I plan to extend this beyond hackernews and beyond lunches. Eventually you should be able to post any event you plan on doing and invite anyone. Kind of like a social network focused around events.

    The site is fine. It's just me. Good to hear that you have a plan to develop it further. One problem I have with my site is to give too much features which are not required, or I dun use myself. Do guard against that too. Less is more.

Might help if location was an independent field to facilitate searching for hackers in my location and to auto-suggest based on matching location.
