Ah, fair enough. I already knew about the Sydney meetup group so didn't have to search for it.

And yes, Yury has moved to Mountain View as Kellyn mentioned, which is why I said he used to run the group. Dunno what's gonna happen with it now, as it does need a fairly driven personality (who? Yury? LOL!) to lead it. :)

Yury could definitely create an event in Canberra but people would not find it because Yury's meetup group is supposedly located in Sydney.

Meetup.com also does a great job of recommending meetup groups to its members which means that the meetup organizer does not have to work hard to advertise the meetup group. But, if I lived in Canberra, I would search for meetup groups in Canberra and Meetup.com would only recommend meetup groups in Canberra to me.

The problem is that one can only search by the location of the meetup group (Chicago in this case) not by the location of the event (e.g. Southern California). In other words, a meetup group is effectively limited to a single city.
