Hi Karen,
I just checked with the Berkeley Public Library (central) about
availability of their meeting room, this is what they said:

Maybe I should clarify that my idea for a Berkeley group is that it is a
group that will (mostly) meet in Berkeley. That says nothing about who
*can* attend -- anyone who wants to come can come. But I'm in Berkeley
and I want there to be some meetings in Berkeley. That's all.

Hi Karen,
Sorry I did not get back to you earlier. I can think of a couple of options
so far:
1) Campus libraries: It seems it is easy for registered campus
organizations to get access to meeting rooms. The problem is, although

Hi, Shreyas. Thanks.
The problem with the campus is that its wifi is not open - each user has
to have a separate login. There are folks who can give us logins, but
it's a bit of a pain.
The BPL has open wifi, but their public room rules say:

Jeremy,
I'm not sure what kind of discussion relating to Wikipedia would be
appropriate for an online meetup, but maybe others have an idea. As I
said, what I've found about WP meetups is that people each work on a
different page, but make use of nearby folks for advice, ideas, and company.
We had a similar discussion back in January:

I hope folks get together and edit lots of pages. For my part, I don't
want to be part of a group or chapter, I would rather just have an easy
way to follow

Hi Karen,
In case you want to reach out to CAL students... here's a Berkeley
wikipedia club I found while at UC Berkeley. Their listserve is: (
wikipediac...@lists.berkeley.edu). Plus there is always the School of
Information (no...@ischool.berkeley.edu)...

Thanks, Brian. I've been looking into mobile hot-spots as a way to
expand our meeting place choices. My fear is that the speed will be a
problem -- anyone have experience using these?

Hi Karen,
The Oakland Local wiki people have regular meetups once a month or more.
Wikipedians are welcome. I've joined them in the past and enjoyed it quite a
bit! And meeting in the Oakland History room is totally awesome.

Good to hear! I am located in San Francisco, but willing to venture to

their community spaces, but unfortunately this is what they say about it:
