      Wrote a little groovy script, to parse the Meetup events json export, and generate .md files for each event github.com/jeffsheets/ojug-meetup-export/blob/main/src/PostGenerator.groovy

        The script generated all new markdown posts - copied them into github.com/OJUG/ojug.github.io/tree/master/_posts - and like magic, ojug.org is freshly updated with all of our past meetup.com events!
