Post any suggestions and feedback regarding how to run successful Meetups to the forum post for “Meeting of the Mobs”: http://zyn.ga/69p o What To Bring . Some markers/pens and name tags to help everyone learn each others’ names. Some Zyngo cards (Page 8) Getting the Word Out o 1 or 2 days before the Meetup, use the “Talk about this Meetup” section on the bottom of your Meetup page to send a reminder to all the people who RSVPed for the event. Example: San Francisco: http://zyn.ga/6C1 o Announce your Meetup on local event & news websites.

I examine how song and dance – sites of aesthetic difference within the musical – can warp time and enable marginalized and semi-marginalized fans to imagine different ways of being in the world. Musical numbers can complicate a linear, developmental plot by accelerating and decelerating time, foregrounding repetition and circularity, bringing the past to life and projecting into the future, and physicalizing dreams in a narratively open present. These excesses have the potential to contest naturalized constructions of historical, progressive time, as well as concordant constructions of gender, sexual, and racial identities. While the musical has historically been a rich source of identification for the stereotypical white gay male show queen, this project validates a broad and flexible range of non-normative readings.

  • Meetup Culture at Wpi ______
    ____________________________________________________________________________ MEETUP CULTURE AT WPI ______________________________________________________________________________ An Interactive Qualifying Project submitted to the faculty of Worcester Polytechnic Institute in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Science Submitted on: May 31, 2018 Submitted by: Amanda Ezeobiejesi Quyen Dinh Thuc Hoang Hung Phu Gia Hong Advised by: Professor Lane T. Harrison This report represents the work of WPI undergraduate students submitted to the faculty as evidence of completion of a degree requirement. WPI routinely publishes these reports on its website without editorial or peer review. ABSTRACT This project quantifies student-centered benefits of attending special interest meetings called “meetups”, and identifies barriers that impact student attendance to meetups, in order to provide recommendations for improving extracurricular education at WPI. Our objective is to ensure that WPI students understand the benefits of attending meetups in the greater Boston area that relate to their academic interests and professional development. The results of 322 student survey responses and multiple interviews suggest that WPI students are generally unaware of meetups and the benefits of attending them, but that the small percentage of students who have attended meetups report significant improvements to their educational experience and career prospects. i | P a g e ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Our team would like to extend our sincere gratitude to the following individuals for their support and encouragement throughout the duration of this project: Our project advisor, Professor Lane Harrison, who supported our team throughout the entire duration of the project. His enthusiasm, kind attention, and diligent guidance increased our passion for the project and allowed the IQP to be as impactful as possible.

  • Privacy Leakage in Event-Based Social Networks: a Meetup Case Study 2
    1 Privacy Leakage in Event-based Social Networks: A Meetup Case Study 2 TAEJOONG CHUNG*, Northeastern University JINYOUNG HAN, Hanyang University DEAJIN CHOI, Seoul National University TED “TAEKYOUNG” KWON, Seoul National University 3 JONG-YOUN RHA, Seoul National University HYUNCHUL KIM, Sangmyung University Event-based social networks (EBSNs) are increasingly popular since they provide platforms on 35 which online and offline activities are combined. Despite the increasing interest in EBSNs, little research has paid attention to the privacy issues coming from the unique features of EBSNs; the 4 on-site information of users is highly relevant to real lives. In this paper, we try to investigate privacy leakages in Meetup, one of the most popular EBSN service. More specifically, we answer what private information can be inferred from the site’s publicly available data. To this end, we conduct a measurement study by crawling webpages from Meetup containing 240K groups, 8.9M users, 27M group affiliations and 78M topical interests. By analyzing the dataset, we find that LGBT status of users, which is one of the most sensitive privacy information, can be predicted with 93% accuracy. Finally we discuss the cause of the privacy leakage on EBSNs and its possible 35 ensuing damages.
