So... went to a bigger local meetup than my bitcoin meetings and this is what I took away from it:
1) May pivot my meetup to be a Bitdevs meetup (need new branding)
2) Will be giving a presentation on Nostr to the bigger meetup.
3) Will need some assistance to kick things up a notch.
If you have any experience with forming a Bitdevs meetup, please contact me as I want to make sure I put some RESPECT on its name.
