I like the idea but it seems like it has not been worked on in over a year, and then another year before that. This could be a really useful tool for organizing meetups.
If someone out there associated with this project is listening: I should be able to move my location in the event I move or made an error entering it. I should also be able to update my HN name should something happen to it. When logged in, auto-zoom the map to my location.
edit: for the downvoters - try it first, then downvote. If multiple people are in the same city/place -> only the last one added is shown, since others are probably overlapped with it.
It seems like the "location" field is just getting geocoded. So some people entered an actual address rather than just a city name. That said I bet there are a bunch of people stacked on "San Francisco, CA"
This loaded fine for me in ff3.5 + ubuntu linux. Hopefully you get some more traffic and the blanks will fill in. Meetup.com returns no results for "ycombinator" so it looks like the Houston Ruby users will be my only monthly meetup obligation.
P.S. I'm only the second from Houston, TX. I feel like some rare, endangered flying frog... :)
Wow - there are only two Dallas-based folks - me and "sid12112". That is odddddddddddddd. Sure there are a few surrounding-city folks in the area but only two in Dallas.
