You certainly can create specific profiles that will hold all the groups.
Example: Here on jamroom.net you are currently on THE JAMROOM NETWORK profile (see the url /the-jamroom-network/) and you are currently in the FORUM module on THE JAMROOM NETWORK profile, so we're at:
JAMROOM SITE -> THE JAMROOM NETWORK -> FORUM -> (this thread in the fourm)
You could create
YOUR SITE -> a profile called COMMUNITY
Then add any number of existing users to that profile. Example, here on THE JAMROOM NETWORK profile there are 5 users connected to this profile, they are:
* Michael
* Brian
* Nate
* Paul
* Douglas
and each of those users can treat THE JAMROOM NETWORK profile as their own profile and add new stuff to it. The groups module is not turned on on this profile because the quota doesn't allow it (and the modules probably not installed on this site anyhow because we don't use it.)
Here on jamroom.net we have 2 main quotas, they are 'regular' and 'developer'. This is what a regular users profile looks like:
https://www.jamroom.net/michael/blog
It has access to these modules:
* TIMELINE
* DOCUMENTATION
* BLOG
* FOLLOWERS
A 'developer' profile looks like this:
https://www.jamroom.net/ultrajam/forum
It has the same modules the regular profile has but it also has:
* FORUM
* MARKETPLACE
The system that determines which profile gets what resources is called the QUOTA SYSTEM. A module only needs to be installed once into the system then it gets turned on or off via the quota system.

Everything belongs on a profile. So if you have Jim, Sarah, Bob, William who have joined your site and William makes a group called "Knitting Circle" then that will be found at:
YOUR SITE -> WILLIAMS PROFILE -> GROUPS -> KNITTING CIRCLE

The "Group Mailer" module does that:
Modules: Group Mailer
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/networkmarket/336/group-mailer
Quote:
The Group Mailer module adds the means for group owners to email all members of a group (requires the Profile Groups module).
- Compose emails using the HTML editor
- Save email as a draft
- Save email as a template and use it as a starting point for future emails
- Select target group or send as a test to master admin

Jamroom currently has the first part but not the "Pluses" section.
It most likely would need to be built. We do have a "Sponsor a Module" system:
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/module-developer-guide/4931/sponsor-a-module
Someone may have built one, give it a day or so see if anyone has.

You're right, the events module is just events. The events module allows any profile to list an event on a date.
On the details page of the event (on the profile that created it) comments can be left which allow for attachments and stuff. It would not be private though, anyone using the site could read the comments. The event details page could be adjusted to only show comments to users who are attending the event but this is not a setting it would need to be coded.
Maybe it is the groups module you need. But groups do not have dates when they happen so possibly a combination of both perhaps.
These are the groups related modules:
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/networkmarket/ss=group
As far as I can remember nobody has created (or asked for) a "Group Events" module. Maybe someone has, they might chime in here.
It also depends on who is doing the creating too. If at the site there was a central set of co-ordinators that was creating the groups then you could create a profile for each meetup and use the profile in place of the events module. If the concept was: "A user joins the site then that use is able to create the groups and add events" then this concept wouldn't work and you would nee the groups module.

I think the reason you're interested in https://demo.jamroom.net/jrFollowMe/groups is because the layout is very much like meetup, but that's not because of the groups module itself but because of the design the skin has given that page.
There's a function in jamroom called {jrCore_list ....} which grabs a list of things from the database and outputs them to a skin.
So in a skin you would run a call like this:
{jrCore_list module="jrEvent" search="event_date > $now" limit=10 order_by="event_date asc" template="my_events_list.tpl"}Then you would create the 'my_events_list.tpl' file in your skin and tell it how you want to display that data eg:
{foreach $_items as $_item}
The event name is: {$_item.event_name} and its starting on {$_item.event_date}
{/foreach}
Something like that. So the concept is: Users add any event of their own to their own profile, then in the skin you suck from all of the data that each of the profiles have and display it as a list. When the site visitor clicks on the link in the list they will be taken to that items detail page on the profile of the person who created it.

Basic concepts of jamroom:
* There are USERS who are the people looking at the screen
* There are PROFILES which are the pages where the users info is displayed.
In a normal jamroom setup one user will have one profile. Jamroom can be made to allow one user to have many profiles ( say one person is in multiple bands ) or one profile to have many users (like say a bands profile page which may have many members in it)
Jamroom approaches the concept of "Content" from the position of: Content is something that is added to a profile.
Jamroom progressed from being a developer oriented system to having features that allowed non-developers to also customize it. If you approach it from the developers angle you will be able to do a lot more than if you never want to look at code.
There is a system called the "Quotas system" that allows there to be different types of profiles. So if you had 2 quotas then profiles in one of those quotas could have a completely different set of features available to them than profiles in the other quota. (A profile can only ever be in one quota at a time.)
MeetUp as a system contains:
* Events that users can join
* Profiles
* Users
So you probably do not need the "Groups" module but instead use the "Events" module. It already has the "Attending" feature built into it.
If you use Jamroom Hosting then you get access to all the modules and skins that The Jamroom Network Team has built included in the price. (That's most of the modules. There are a few others that are created by 3rd party developers that are not included.)
That would probably be enough to get some of the main structure in place, from there the next steps would be to customize it to fit what your site is about.
--edit--
PageMakers:....After installation the modules must be acquired through the JR interface and unless the JR package installed is premium or above, there will a charge for the module. Right?...
There are a bunch of free modules that come with the package and a bunch more free in the marketplace.

Sound Cloud?
Ning To Jamroom
its back on now. Let me know when your done, i'll turn it off again.
--edit--
another way to do it would be to use SFTP and download the module from your site that has it and upload it to the site that wants it.

New Caching?
Using Jamroom
If you have caching turned on then the random list of items on the page should stay on that same random list until the cache clears.
Turning "developer mode" to ON makes all caches stop caching.
