Yup — I wasn't clear, but then new Canberra Startup list is meant to be just for organising physical meetups.
Description updated: ### A place to organize some physical meetups focussed on but not limited to Web 2.0.If you have startup questions that are not Canberra-specific, I recommend the awesome: http://groups.google.com.au/group/silicon-beach-australia ### Was aiming to avoid spamming people here about Canberra drink nights, but more than happy to just do it here instead of on a separate list?
