Exploring possibly moving OJUG off of Meetup to avoid the yearly fees, and found a graphQL API to easily export the past event info to json! meetup.com/api/playground/#graphQl-playground
-
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!
-
Wrote up the Meetup export / OJUG import experience and steps a bit in the README here github.com/jeffsheets/ojug-meetup-export
-
somehow above, I screenshot'd the previous ojug.org deployment, but here it is with all of the new imported posts too

Found some time to blog about this experience -- Exporting Meetup.com Events to a Github Pages Jekyll Site sheetsj.com/2022/08/export-meetupcom-events-to-github-pages.html
