I'm looking at starting a small local Linux Users Group (LUG).

What are good easy ways to get started?

Seems like meetup.com is kinda anti-foss.

Are there better alternatives?

I tried to join in Nashville. IIRC, Meetup had lots of trackers showing on my query monitors. I quit trying immediately because of privacy issues whatever it was. I think I might make a shitty Reddit account on a throwaway email and try posting on R/Nashville or something. I just really hate Reddit though.
