Our meet up has been running for a decade. This has only been possible by making attendees aware that they own the event. Over the years people have moved on and others have stepped in to keep the thing alive.

By effectively charging at the door our meet up becomes a product people buy not a community they take part in.

If we allow that to happen it won't survive another decade.
