From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I really, genuinely like Mobilizon, but the network effect is real, sadly, there aren't nearly as many people there. I'd probably suggest doing both, and maybe the like-minded people that you find on meetup can follow on Mobilizon, and help that cause as well. Meetup has nothing special, except for lots of people that go there to find events.
