------------------------------------------------

If others are interested in a C++ meeting in the St. Paul,
Minnesota area, please let me know. By the grace of G-d,
I'm able to provide a meeting area in a conference room in
the office building where Ebenezer Enterprises is, and I
would be happy to give a talk or two.

Last month

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.lang.c++/o8whK7pA_sw

someone said that not all of these "meetings" may be
taking place. It sounded to me like the ones that have
a specific meeting topic are real meetings and the ones
that have a generic topic may be false positives.

Lots of BS. For instance, the Washington, DC group hasn't met in over
two years, AFAIK.

If someone is going to publicize user groups, they should at least make
*some* effort to see that the group meets (or even exists).

You pick one example and generalize to the whole list.

I can do that too.

The Utah group has met every month for it's entire existence.

Therefore, the list is flawless.

Nope, just one of several examples of user groups which no longer exist
- and haven't, for quite a while.

I could put some of the "meetings" in a different
section and mention that they may no longer be
meeting. Besides Washington, DC what others do you
think are no longer meeting?

I hope to help start a C++ group in the St. Paul,
Minnesota area. My plan is to meet quarterly rather
than monthly. I think it's pretty tough to come up
with good content on a monthly basis. It would be
great if some of the groups that have stopped meeting
would restart on a less ambitious basis.

Sacramento, for one. I'm sure if you're interested you can find others.

That's nice. But the only thing worse than no list is an incorrect list.

You would be well advised to follow the links for those groups on that
web link you posted. The D.C. Meetups link is a dead link to the root
page of the Meetups site. If the group organizers can't be bothered to
keep their calendars updated I' say it's not worth listing anywhere.

[Jerry Stuckle]

Geoff, it's not that they don't keep their calendars updated. They
stopped meeting at least two years ago. There's no calendar to update.
