This is indeed a great idea, If I'm not mistaken Chris Goldammer was hosting a series of sessions with the name "Remote Haskell Learners'' (in its practical term) in BFPG ( https://www.meetup.com/Berlin-Functional-Programming-Group). Also, not sure if you wanna make a new meetup group, but I am sure you can host and advertise your sessions in BFPG, they have a great (and talented) community and close to all of its members are familiar with the pros&cons of virtual events, as they frequently have a virtual sessions.

I think it's a great idea. What would helping you organize involve?

Great question. I think what I need most is:

1. Well before the event: a second brain to look at the plan and help think of things that can go wrong for some attendees, and what we might do to mitigate these factors, or anything else that should be done differently from what's in my head. 2. Shortly before the event: advertise! Make sure people know about it and are excited to come. 3. During the event: someone to play host a bit and help people find something to do, and generally be helpful to anyone who is lost or confused. That's not a role that I'm very good at, and I think it's more than a one-person job anyway.
