Isn't Eventbrite also a valid alternative, that has the advantage of bing a mature, feature-rich offering? Free events are free, and their profits come from supporting paid events.

It is indeed! Thanks for pointing it out, just added it to the post.

https://gettogether.community/ free software, works well.

I'm really surprised to see GetTogether is not better know. I think it's one of the best alternatives available.

please add http://foxie.cool

it's a laid back for activities

To add to the list: https://gettogether.community/

Developed stopped 2 years ago, despite the successful Kickstarter. :(

I may be biased (I backed that Kickstarter), but this makes me sad :(

https://www.talkyard.io, another one. Talkyard is sort of a cross between HackerNews, Slack, Discourse, StackOverflow.

Events features under development. (Feature request topic, with more details: https://www.talkyard.io/-267/add-a-way-to-create-events-with...)

The FreeCodeCamp one is pitched as a self-hosted solution, which means it won't have a network of meetup groups like meetup.com does. If you have a big network of meetups yourself (like, say, FreeCodeCamp), then sure it works. If you're just a small meetup group, it'll be no better than just hoping people find your site on google as is.

This is the repo for the FreeCodeCamp project if you're interested: https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/chapter

FWIW, Agriya open sourced their event script longtime ago https://github.com/agriya/bookorrent

I like https://www.mixily.com: it's not a direct Meetup competitor but it is nice for scheduling individual events.

FreeCodeCamp project is this one: https://github.com/freeCodeCamp/chapter

I've never heard of them either. Meetup's demise will be a great opportunity for them, but I think a lot of them will be hobbled by having off-putting names.
