Does meetup export an ics file RSS feed style? I suppose it would be one thing 
to manually maintain a parallel list of meetups when meetup.com is (in my 
understanding) the primary means of RSVPing. If we could grab the ics file 
location from meetup and then it would be kept up to date on the website that 
would remove almost all the extra burden. That might work better by having a 
calendar which gets loaded into the website and not built in, so it could have 
the events added there without the website rebuilt and deployed for each new 
event or change.

Also that would only take care of this meeting, not the other ones.

What about under a subheading of meetups:
Link to meetup group, with approximate meeting frequency (or not), and a date 
listed for when the entry was last updated/checked. It's one thing to say we 
have a yearly Guix Days pre FOSDEM and another thing to advertise (for example) 
an upcoming 10 Years of Guix in Paris in September (no year listed). Then it's 
everyones individual responsibility to check when recurring events might be.

Another option would be to have an email announcement list from the Guix 
Foundation where these can be announced.
