I feel your desire for doing at a meet up, because I ran a student group in college where I worried there was a lot of talk and too little action. I think there could be versions of “talking” that are closer to “doing,” though—for example, presenting on recent projects or donation decisions, thereby giving members a chance to feel good about good they’ve done recently and creating a norm of action. This would probably avoid some of the problems with short-term freelancing laid out in other comments. Hope this idea helps!
What continuous objective tasks did members do in that group?
I see one “problem” mentioned in a comment. It was said how doing freelance work could potentially be a inefficient way to make money. I’d be happy to know what other problems you see in the comments that are directly about freelancing. I didn’t see another about freelancing itself.
Second, this is long-term freelancing. Nothing about what I said is short-term. This is a continual-regularly scheduled sort of meetup. Ideally, I expect to do it weekly.
(Aside, “I feel your desire for doing at a meet up,” doesn’t make sense to me. What are you trying to say?)
