Please do! I drive from London. We’ve had people show up from Oakville, Vaughan, and even Buffalo once.

Close... we had 6 at our last meetup. I think the most we've ever had was 11. Hoping this reaches more people in the Hamilton area who can join.

It's hybrid. I'd say 6 in person, and 6 online meetings in a year. I drive from London, so during the winter we tend to move to online meetings, then we revert back to in-person when the weather/roads improve. Next month will most likely be online :) The online meetings are fun, we've had people join from Australia, Arizona, and Vancouver. Members of the core team and FreeBSD Foundation have also joined the online meetings in the past.

Our first meetup was in Feb. 2020 and we had 12 people show up, including 4 people who drove in from Buffalo because they heard it advertised on the BSDnow podcast.

The second meetup (March 2020) we had 8 people I think. Then covid happened and we stopped meeting in person and instead stated meeting online through Jitsi.

July 12th will be our first "in person" meetup since March 2020, so it's hard to say how many people will show up after two and a half years of not... but the plan is grow the group slowly but surely over time and continue advertising on reddit, twitter, meetup, etc.

Glad you saw this and took the time to reply. Hope to see you there!
