Re: [Wikimedia-SF] Meetup 15 -- August 7
So the end all, be all, is that I screwed up in planning. This is the first time we ever scheduled a meet that wasn't something small. No one (except Cary) thought to define a specific point, and I didn't see the Facebook notice myself until after the fact. Now we know that in the future, any meetups in locations bigger than a restaurant - should have a very specific location. How about we get some GPS coordinates going too? We could have a Geocache'd [1] wikimeet, or maybe a radio foxhunt [2]. If you can find the meetup, you can participate!!! -Jon [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geocaching [2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmitter_hunting On Sun, Aug 8, 2010 at 18:13, Robert Rohde raro...@gmail.com wrote: On Sun, Aug 8, 2010 at 4:21 PM, Cary Bass c...@wikimedia.org wrote: snip The Facebook page mentioned 19th and Delores (which I put in myself, knowing that Delores Park is a big park and often takes some time to find people).

Re: [Wikimedia-SF] Meetup 15 -- August 7
Okay guys, so what happened? I came out to Dolores Park yesterday. My girlfriend and I got there at 2:20, and then spent 30 minutes walking around without finding anyone I knew or seeing any sign I could recognize. Given that I knew most of the people who said they were coming, this is rather frustrating. Assuming that there really was a meetup yesterday, then I'd like to say that we definitely need to do a better job of saying precisely where people are meeting rather than have it just be somewhere vague in a large park with lots of other people around. Similarly, I could have called someone to figure out what was going on, but no one put their contact info on the event page (which is all I had with me). -Robert Rohde ___ Wikimedia-SF mailing list Wikimedia-SF@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-sf

Robert, A group of us remained at 19th and Delores, under the bell, until sometime past 2:30, when Phoebe arrived. Nobody thought to bring any kind of sign, but Alex had a Wikipedia t-shirt. The Facebook page mentioned 19th and Delores (which I put in myself, knowing that Delores Park is a big park and often takes some time to find people). Brion couldn't make it and Jon was unavoidably detained in Berkeley; but the rest of us were all there. We went to get ice cream at that time, because it seemed unlikely that anyone else was coming; and we remained on the lookout for you, since you were the only one left unaccounted-for. We then returned to the park around 3ish, where Eugene met us and we sat there until well past 4:00. I'm sorry you couldn't find us, and that nobody provided a common phone number. Maybe we should make a point to exchange numbers. A number of us were checking email regularly to see if anyone was still missing, but maybe someone needs to be in charge of signs and signals. I think it's Jon, actually, but if he doesn't show up then we're FUBAR. Cary ___ Wikimedia-SF mailing list Wikimedia-SF@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-sf

I'll be there. If folks are interested, I can bring Pandemic. It's a great collaborative board game.

Re: [Wikimedia-SF] Meetup 15 -- August 7
Hi all, Thanks Jon for choosing a date :) So... don't forget about the meetup next Saturday (Aug 7): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/San_Francisco_15 We still need to set a location and time. Please make suggestions, along with adding agenda items, to the meetup page above. So far on the agenda: * reports from Wikimania WikiSym * planning for West Coast WikiCon: I have some updates on possible venues; we have a lot of other areas to go over as well. If you're working on a venue, can you please try to bring information about it on Saturday or update the wiki? thanks!
