In an effort to stay within the description of the Announcements category I’ll be putting Racket Meet-up announcements in the General category and tagging it as [event](https://racket.discourse.group/tag/event) and [meet-up](https://racket.discourse.group/tag/meet-up)

Like this

> [@Racket meet-up 5 November at 18:00 UTC racket](https://racket.discourse.group/t/racket-meet-up-5-november-at-18-00-utc/1425):

(optional) EVERYONE W…

I’ll encourage others - including conference announcements and ‘call for papers/submissions/contributions’-type announcements to do the same.

Making use of the tags makes it easier for people who want these notifications find them, while letting those who are not interested filter them out.

Keep on trucking
