Aggregate upcoming meetups into a list

It would be great to be able to integrate with meetup.com and fetch upcoming events from each of the groups, and display them in a list.

I will take a look at the Meetup.com API to see how to do this.

Two things here to consider

• Some UG not using Meetup
• pulling each UG calendar, read upcoming events show them will take time and as the UG grows we get lot of delay and sync issue

What we can do is like groups we can have a JSON or something and read from there. We can have some criteria of the event to be added here.

I think that any usergroup not using Meetup will just have to miss out. I don't like to force anyone to use a particular proprietary service, but the vast majority of people ARE using Meetup, so it makes sense at least to implement this first.

For getting the data, I have an idea for this... I'll try a couple of things first, then report back!

Somehow run a schedule and generate a ugeveents.JSON (or something) and have a separate page for UG events. We can have one page for International Conference also. One entry for each conference. Or we have to rewrite scalaspeace in Play with backend

@propensive I did a small hacking and got the following
We can read each meetup iCal. We need some server side app to pull all this and expose service so ScalaJS can pull this and display.

Sounds great! That's roughly what I had in mind. :)
