[TriLUG] Do Linux User groups still serve a useful purpose?

[Esther L]

One big benefit for me of trilug is that employers do not block the
website.  I can look up the meetings on work computer.
For meetup.com, I have to look up info on phone or on computer at home.

Yes, I do some personal email on phone, but bigger screen is nice.

Employers in insurance, finance, healthcare, banking tend to block blogs
and/or social media. Meetup is often considered part of that.
