            Frequent Questions
            
            Who leads the Meetup?
            Nobody. Meetups are informal; it's peers talking to peers. Most 
            Meetups do have volunteer hosts that help make things go smoothly, 
            but think of it as a casual get-together, not an official 
            meeting.
            What is a host?
            A host is a Meetup attendee just like you. The only difference is 
            that they've agreed to help people find each other at the Meetup. 
            They might have printed out a sign and put it on a tabletop. Perhaps 
            they came bearing nametags and a magic marker. Hopefully they've let 
            the venue's management know that you're all coming there to Meetup. 
            We try to make it so every Meetup has a host - Why not be one 
            yourself? 
            Does the Meetup happen over the Internet or in real 
            life?
            
Real life, real local communities, real groups of people.
            What do people do at a Meetup?
            Chat, chew the fat, shoot the breeze, sling the bull, babble, 
            cackle, chatter, gab, yak, yammer. No big whoop.
