• What are meetups?
• Meetup = User Group?

I am only interested on Meetups related to software development. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Programming Languages
• Programming Paradigms
• Programming Frameworks
• Software development processes

Examples:

• Elixir, Ruby
• Functional programming
• Rails, Node.js
• Agile

• Meetups in Curitiba

• Categories/classes
  • Meetup (the events, the actual meetups)
  • Meetup Groups
  • Participants
  • Organizers
  • Location (relevant?)
  • Format

A meetup is a meeting on a subject not restricted to the members of a company.

Possible formats:

• Talk
• Lightning talks
• Hack time period (hack night, etc.)

• Grounded theory https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grounded_theory
