This is still the plan: not replace what is already working. If meetup.com works for you then fine, but groups can offer an alternative if desired or necessary.

Currently for the groups that use meetup.com the Groups portal imports the list of events automatically using meetup api. If you look at the groups.OpenStack.org you'll see a list of events imported. We can do more, we will have to discuss the next phase of the project as soon as we have the concept of "users" and roles in the portal.

We sure can. Let's pick a date and time next week, I'm fairly open.
