The [Drupal Meetups Twitterbot][0] is a small project that I worked on a few months ago, but hadn't got around to promoting yet. Its intention is to provide [one Twitter account][1] where people can get the up to date news from various Drupal meetups.

The [Drupal Meetups Twitterbot][0] is a small project that I worked on a few months ago, but hadn't got around to promoting yet. Its intention is to provide [one Twitter account][1] where people can get the up to date news from various Drupal meetups.
It works by having a whitelist of [Twitter accounts and hashtags][2] to search for, uses [Codebird][3] to query the Twitter API and retweets any matching tweets on a scheduled basis.
If you would like your meetup group to be added to the list of searched accounts, please [open an issue][4] on the GitHub repo.
