<div dir="ltr">Paul,<div>For this application having a well defined region isn't a big issue. To me it's more of "if you are interested, here is a nearby OSM group(s)." I think as we learn how users react to the feature, we can find ways to improve it. To that end, I gave Metro Vancouver as an area to github issue. It probably should extend out more than just the metro relation but I felt it was a good start.</div><div><br></div><div>Clifford</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Apr 4, 2018 at 2:50 AM, Paul Norman <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:penorman@mac.com" target="_blank">penorman@mac.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><span class="">On 3/31/2018 5:25 AM, Bryan Housel wrote:<br>

I'm having trouble figuring out what a sensible region is for the meetups in Vancouver and the Pacific Northwest.<br>
<br>
Our meetups are along the coast, but I don't believe there are any other meetups for a few hundred km as you go inland. Closer to home, I'd consider Chilliwack part of our region in many ways, but it's 100km from there to our normal meeting place. This makes it too far to suggest, because it's a 90+ minute drive. Where would I cut it off?<br>
<br>
Going up and down the coast, we have a different problem. Vancouver, South-Central Salish Sea, and Seattle all share a meetup organization, and have overlap in members. The boundaries here are fuzzy.<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br>
