Unfortunate that both IgoLocal and PromoteGo are inactive at this time. With the recent mainstream news reports about the Lee Sedol vs AlphaGo match, this would be a good time to utilize them.

There’s this new project started in r/baduk: https://www.reddit.com/r/baduk/comments ... map_going/

And there still is the World Go Clubs Map which sadly was vandalized some time ago, but there’s still a lot of info there. I’ve acquainted both originators with each other and hope there can be some synergy … I think it would be great to have two or more such places mirroring each other.

The idea behind PromoteGo was that go players near each other would arrange to meet and play in places where they would be noticed. These might be parks, shopping center food courts, college commons, work place cafeterias. Unlike a typical club games, the players might welcome interruptions from people asking about the game. (It might also help to have an odd number of go players show up, so some could play while one would be free to discuss the game with curious passers by.)
