I've been using our in house syndication tool developed by Robert Krimen:

http://search.cpan.org/~rkrimen/App-PM-Announce-0.025/lib/App/PM/Announce.pm

You drop the announcement into a text file and run 'pm-announce <
announcement.txt'.  And it just works (except for Meetup errors
apparently :)

Here's the payload I used for today's announcement.  It has channels
for Meetup, use.perl.org, sf.pm.org, and LinkedIn groups.  I'm sure
other channel patches would be welcome :)


# App-PM-Announce
# You can leave 'venue' blank to use the default venue (per /Users/phred/Library
/Application Support/.app-pm-announce/config)
# The 'datetime' field is the date & time that the event will take place. Any re
asonable string should do (parsed via DateTimeX::Easy)
