During CloudFest 2024, I met with Patricia Brun Torre to discuss GatherPress. Patricia recently posted a proposal on behalf of the GatherPress project to start a pilot program with a handful of WordPress meetups and use the GatherPress plugin as a replacement for Meetup.com, centrally hosted on WordPress.org.
