 ### OpenHack Meetup Group
 
-We announce our new meetings at the [OpenHack Austin Meetup Group](http://www.meetup.com/openhackatx/).
-Please check that resource for announcements on when OpenHack Austin will be meeting.
+While we're not as active as we once were, OpenHackATX does still exist! It turns out that
+using Meetup.com works out better for us; far more people hear about us this way than
+would otherwise happen.
 
-You can also check us out on Twitter:
-[@openhackatx](http://twitter.com/openhackatx)
+Check us out over at Meetup:

 ### Other, similar options
 
 If you're looking for other options (maybe certain days don't work for you),
 there's [Cafe Bedouins](http://cafebedouins.com/).
 They generally meet every Tuesday at a coffee shop or other similar location at 7PM.
 
-### Sponsors
-
-We're interested in a diversity of sponsors. If your company is interested in
-sponsoring OpenHack, please let us know via Twitter or in person at a meeting.
-
-Our first several meetings have been sponsored by the fine folks at
-[Engine Yard](http://www.engineyard.com) and [GitHub](http://www.github.com).
-
-[Engine Yard](http://www.engineyard.com) is a Platform as a Service vendor
-currently supporting Java, PHP, Ruby and Node.js applications.
-Forget your devops and just hand them the code, and they've got it from there.
-However you can still exercise a huge amount of control and customization
-should you want it.
-
-Most of the open source community is already familiar with
-[GitHub](http://www.github.com); they are the world's leading git source
-repository host. Account signups are very simple, tools for bug and feature
-tracking exist, and it works great for teams. Push your git repository to GitHub
-and manage your project easily.
-
-If you'd like more information about either sponsor, please see
-[J. Austin Hughey](http://twitter.com/jaustinhughey).
+#### Looking to get in touch?
 
-### We're interested in other sponsors, too.
+Your best bet is to contact the organizer(s) of OpenHackATX via the aforementioned
+meetup.com link. Leadership of these community organizations does change hands over
+time - by necessity (running something like this can be a _huge_ undetaking!) - so
+the most up-to-date information on who's who, what's what and when's when is going
+to be there.
 
-If your company would like to sponsor OpenHack Austin, please let us know.
-We'd like to run different sponsors at different meetings,
-preferrably where each sponsor compliments the other in some way and is of
-course useful to those who attend OpenHack. So if you're interested in
-sponsorship, please let me (J. Austin Hughey) know
-(give me a shout on Twitter or something).
+##### Who maintains this specific page?
 
-### We want feedback
+That would be yours truly, [J. Austin Hughey](https://github.com/jaustinhughey).
+I was the original organizer, and stepped down after a couple years, letting more
+passionate folks step in and do things their own way. Contact me via GitHub if
+you believe this page needs to be updated in some way.
 
-OpenHack is about the hacker/developer community. This group exists to give you a
-repeated opportunity to get out and among your peers, hack on a project,
-develop connections with people, and have fun while being productive. So if you have ideas
-on how we can further that goal, or have ideas on our proposed format, send a
-tweet to the organizers, [@jaustinhughey](https://twitter.com/jaustinhughey)
-and [@damon](https://twitter.com/damon).
