I agree that Austrians are doing a great job with meetups, but as an excuse for others, from Graz to Vienna is like a 2 2-hour car drive... if someone from Vigo wants to come to Barcelona every month, that would be easier to do by plane...
We need 5 hours from our place to Barcelona... and we are not that far... 😃 And when you had an "offline" work it is not that easy to travel...
But, I agree that we should have at least 2-4 meetups like we had in Krakow...
