By default meetup.com notifies you of any new groups in your area\nmatching your interests. However many of these groups never schedule more\nthan 1 event in their lifetime.\n\nI wanted to additionally filter these notifications such that I was only notified\nof new groups that have at least 3 events on their calendar,\nshowing that they are actually candidates for being an active group.\n\n[meetup.com]: http://meetup.com\n\n## Solution\n\nThis script learns about new meetup groups through \"New Meetup Group\"\nemails sent to an IMAP-accessible email account. Whenever these groups\nget at least `MIN_EVENTS_TO_ANNOUNCE` meetings on their calendar (if ever),\nthe script will generate its own summarizing \"New Meetup Group\" email via SMTP.\n\nThese summary emails look like:\n\n```\nSubject: New Meetup Groups: Capitol Hill 20s \u0026 30s Games Meetup and 6 other(s)\nFrom: meetupfilter \u003cYOUR_EMAIL@gmail.com\u003e\nTo: Me \u003cYOUR_EMAIL@gmail.com\u003e\n\nCapitol Hill 20s \u0026 30s Games Meetup\n===================================\n\nPlay games with other people in their 20s and 30s on Capitol Hill. Bring one game or many. If you don't have a game, just bring yourself!\n\nhttp://www.meetup.com/Capitol-Hill-20s-30s-Games-Meetup/\n\n[...]\n\n-- \nThese new groups matching your interests have at least 3 events on their calendar.\n\nTo change which groups are announced and when, change your interests as registered on http://www.meetup.com/ or edit this script.\n```\n\n## Requirements\n\n* Python 2.7\n* An email account accessible over IMAP where \"New Meetup Group\" emails from Meetup will be received.\n* An email account accessible over SMTP to send summary emails.\n* An email address where summary emails will be received.\n\n## Installation\n\n* Create a folder on your IMAP email server to hold \"New Meetup Group\" emails from Meetup.\n    * Create a server-side email rule to move messages with \"New Meetup Group\" in the subject line from Meetup to the server folder you created.\n* Apply for a [Meetup API key]. This is needed when configuring meetupfilter.\n* Download the meetupfilter directory to a place on your hard drive. Configure it:\n    * Copy the file `meetupfilter_config.tmpl.py` to `meetupfilter_config.py` and fill out the configuration values.\n    * Install the [notifymail](https://github.com/davidfstr/notifymail) dependency and [configure it](https://github.com/davidfstr/notifymail#configuration) with the SMTP server for sending summary emails and the destination address where you want to receive the summary emails.\n* After you've received at least one regular Meetup email which is routed to the IMAP server folder that you configured, test the meetupfilter script using `python2.7 meetupfilter.py test`.\n* Configure cron or some other periodic scheduler to run `python2.7 meetupfilter.py` daily.\n\n[Meetup API key]: http://www.meetup.com/meetup_api/key/\n\n## License\n\nThis code is provided under the MIT License.","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdavidfstr%2Fmeetupfilter","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fdavidfstr%2Fmeetupfilter","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fdavidfstr%2Fmeetupfilter/lists"}
