In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Ionic community has shifted its focus to hosting virtual meetups to maintain engagement and promote learning among developers. By leveraging free online tools and resources, Ionic makes it easier for community members to organize and participate in these virtual gatherings, which include pre-built presentations on topics such as Ionic React, Capacitor, and Stencil. The initiative aims to facilitate connection and skill development within the community, encouraging enthusiasts to start new Ionic Meetup groups via platforms like Meetup.com, where official status can be earned through consistent activity. As virtual events become more prevalent, Ionic continues to support and promote these efforts by providing resources, templates, and promotional assistance, highlighting the importance of adapting to online environments to keep community interactions vibrant and ongoing.
