Last week I too had to look up when and where the meetup was, buried 
somewhere in the archives and a no longer working link. It may have been 
less clear this time because there was unclarity about whether this was 
the regular three-monthly PUN or a meetup specifically for Pythonistas 
in Amsterdam that was expanded to the whole country just this once.

Also, in this case you really had to register yourself for the meeing at 
meetup.com because there was limited room. I was put on the waiting list 
initially. The 'limited' room was actually 80 people, which is a lot 
more than we are used to as an audience for the PUNs. So meetup.com 
really is recommended: at the very least the organizers get an idea of 
how many people are coming and can adjust their food and drink supply.

I only use Meetup for the Python groups. I have no problems with it. I 
don't get spammed, except for the weekly email with meetups that don't 
usually interest me, but I have just changed my account settings to no 
longer receive that.  So: Meetup is fine with me.

BUT: I fully expect that Python meetings are announced on this list.
And I hope that organizers don't mind if the few non-meetup users simply 
send an e-mail to announce that they are coming.

Hope to see you next time.

When and where?
