Good to see these. I am also trying to kick start a regular Monero meetup here in Turkiye.
I see that you guys are organizing without meetup.com ? That's good, because meetup.com 's fees are unreasonably high. You are planning to spread the word via twitter? or some-platform else?

There was a proposal to set up Mobilizon instance: https://repo.getmonero.org/monero-project/ccs-proposals/-/merge_requests/70#note_21324 (federated & self-hosted platform for events)
Most of the times, the problem isn't the lack of platform, imo. Of course, I do appreciate a free and open source alternative to meetup.com (and maybe we should set up one), but mainly these platforms remain invisible to the general public.
However, I also believe, somehow the ball should get rolling. Maybe using these alternatives will make them more visible to the general public audience. Who knows?
