@elioqoshi you said this in [Request for a NYC sub-category in /Events/Local Meetups/ - #6 by elioqoshi](https://discourse.opensourcedesign.net/t/request-for-a-nyc-sub-category-in-events-local-meetups/588/6)

So the structure could be like this:

**Events**

- FOSDEM
- Open Source Design Summit
- FOSSASIA
- Open Tech Summit
- …

**Local Meetups**

- NYC
- Tirana
- Berlin
- …

I like it, and it’s basically like in the FSFE Discourse at [https://community.fsfe.org](https://community.fsfe.org) – but it’s different to what you originally proposed in the first post at [Discourse Category Refactoring](https://discourse.opensourcedesign.net/t/discourse-category-refactoring/627)

So – I’m good with splitting up Events and Local Meetups and would go ahead and do it, just asking to confirm. 🙂
