More frequent social meetups, yes. But I think they should still be
organized by someone(s) each time, and not necessarily in the same place.
When I was living in Boston, my experience with these meetups was mixed.
It's nice to know where and when to go, and it's better than having no
meetups organized at all. But this is really just a
meetup.com page that
is set up to send out a notice to all the subscribers at the same time
each month. If few no people happen to be able to make it that month, no
one sets up an on-wiki signup list and nothing much happens. More than
once, I showed up at the regular time and place, and no one was there.
Of course, Boston is generally a little less organized than things are
in DC. :-)

Is there interest in doing regularly scheduled monthly
social meetups,
like Boston does? separate from special GLAM and other events?
If so, any preferences as to when to schedule them? where?
Cheers,
