Look at the top eight users by Karma. They are from seven different nations. What does this tell you about your idea of a “National” meetup?

Look at the principles of Plurk, particularly the “think globally, act globally” one, but also “move beyond fubu”.

One central convention is just plain not Plurky, particularly in a tourism-hostile country. Better would be to use meetup.com or somesuch to organise regional meetings, then a *global* meetup, with all the regions of each nation meeting centrally.

That’s the minimum you’d need, to be Plurky. You could go further, like organise feeds to and from each major location, so each room in location A can see what is happening in the related room in location B, and vice versa. Or at least for the main lecture hall. Let people give global talks and lectures from any region, and *take questions* from any other region… perhaps via Plurk.

Would be great if you made it in conjunction with another convention of similar nature.

With the right organization and leadership behind it, I think it’s entirely possibly to host such an event. Afterall, look at all the blogging conferences that go on.

The hardest part to nail down, IMO, would be the topics and sessions at the event. Currently, Plurk is a fairly small part of the much larger social web, which could make for a limited amount of activities. You never really know until you try it out.

I do like @NowSourcing’s idea about trying out some smaller events in areas where there are already a lot of Plurkers. Then if those go well, maybe organize one giant event.

Location is VERY important. Just haven’t thought that deep into yet.

Location is kind of important, don’t you think? Try out a few big cities that have lots of plurkers to start, might be one way to go with it..
