Latin Meetup

[richsc]

Is it just me or does everyone suddenly have a "Latin Meetup" icon on their EZBoard with the other forum notices? <p>Legio XX<br>

Yes Rich,<br>
I've already noticed it. What the heck is that? (no time left to investigate it by myself, sorry...)<br>

Checked it out, it is the International Latin Meetup Day on June 7:<br>
<br>
"Wanna do as the Romans do (or did)? Meetup with other local Classical Latin students, perhaps even scholars, to learn, brush up or speak the language."<br>
<br>
Well boys & girls, get out the ol' Latin dictionary!<br>

Meetup is a relatively new service whereby adherents of various hobbies/interests/political leanings can get together. It's seen a lot of use in the US in organizing grass-roots political campaigns. Each topic (in this case Latin) has a certain date each month, and the members in each city vote on a meeting location for each month. <p></p><i></i>

Certainly sounds like something WE could do, a RAT Meetup project. I wonder if this would work to help get farflung RATers together. Thoughts?<br>

I see London and Toronto listed, but mostly US cities. Otherwise, not a bad idea and at least would expand the topic into the meetup.com domain.<br>

I'm now interfacing w/ the Meetup staff to see if we can start a RAT meetup program. I'll let you all know what I find out.<br>

Aha,<br>
<br>
so what is the latin version of "when are we going to eat?" <p>Professionals built the Titanic, amateurs built the ark<br>
