This may be interesting for OpenStack user groups, too. /stef -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [Foundations] Meetup.com spam warning Date: Thu, 18 Sep 2014 11:22:52 -0700 From: Josh Berkus <josh at agliodbs.com> Organization: PostgreSQL Experts Inc. To: foundations List <foundations at lists.freedesktop.org> Folks, I know a lot of OSS groups use Meetup.com for user group meetings. I wanted to warn you that the default group settings permit spamming, and need to be changed by your UGs. The new default on Meetup is that any 3 group members can approve an event, with or without an organizer. This allows any 3 spam accounts to create a spam event. This setting is in Group Tools > Group Settings > Basics. (and yes, this is "yet another reason not to use Meetup") -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. http://pgexperts.com _______________________________________________ foundations mailing list foundations at lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/foundations -- Ask and answer questions on https://ask.openstack.org
