A "Do" and a "Meet" are the same thing -- an event where F/Ters get to meet each other.
They can be small, quiet, experiences such as one last year where 7 of us had dinner together in Stuart, FL; large dinners, like the one planned for PBI-FLL in December; riotous parties; or even multi-day events involving organize tours (for an example, click on my signature block for details of the TLV Meet).
Although F/T does not officially sponsor any of these Dos, they must be open to any interested FlyerTalker and announced in the Community Buzz Forum.
And, no, they are not restricted to people who fly out of the same airport -- in fact they rarely have many F/Ters from the same location. The TLV Meet, for example, will include people from American cities as far East and South as Orlando; North and West as Seattle; Canada; Australia; New Zealand; and, believe it or not, Israel.
