[edit] Future meetings: to be arranged...

feel free to suggest a meetup below

[edit] GLAM meetup August

Shortly before or after the GLAM event in Canberra will be a Sydney meetup. We're hoping some of the overseas GLAM atendees, such as Jennifer Riggs, will stop off in Sydney to meetup with Sydney Wikipedians. This is tentatively scheduled for some time between August 4th and 9th.

[edit] Wiki Wednesday July

Wiki Wednesday Australia is a meeting of all wiki enthusiasts, not just Wikipedians. The next event will be held at Atlassian in Sydney on July 1st 2009 from 6pm. Sign up here.

Wiki Wednesday is taking place today in the main bar of the Civic Hotel from 6.30pm. It's on the corner of Pitt and Goulburn Streets and is within walking distance of Central or Town Hall Station. You can sign up on facebook.

[edit] May 2008

Some wiki types, some beers, some chat. We actually covered quite a lot of ground - and I (privatemusings) certainly had a grand 'ol time.... Thanks to all for coming along, and per the above, hope to see you before too long! Good venue as it has it had Kilkenny on tap (well spotted Angela!). I can't unnerstand how anyone can drink Tooheys New though :) (hic!)

Seconded. Disappointed we couldn't agree to Manning Bar as a regular meeting place. But c'est la vie as Ned Kelly famously said. Alastair Haines (talk) 23:59, 9 May 2008 (UTC)


[edit] August 2008

We wiki-d, we met. It happened. Details on the mailing list! Privatemusings (talk) 02:28, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Oh blast - I missed it! Gah! - Tbsdy lives (talk) 09:18, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] October 2008

Privatemusings, Witty lama, Angela, Tim Starling, Ariconte, Andjam, and Werdna went to Phillip's Foote in The Rocks. Angela, Tim, Werdna, and Andjam then celebrated Good Food Month at The Four Seasons with a "Sugar Hit"!

Past meetups

[edit] 13th March 2009

On 13th March 2009, the Powerhouse Museum gave Wikimedia Australia members (and friends) a personal tour through their collections - much of it not on public display. They took photos for us and gave us access to their curators as well as a meeting room. In exchange, we are helping to improve articles about their items.

[edit] April, drinks at The Belgian Beer Cafe, 6pm til late!

To avoid confusion, the meetup is planned for the beer cafe in The Rocks - here - if you find yourself in the wrong one, have a couple of beers, and just talk wiki with anyone who'll listen - you'll likely have a blast regardless :-).

135 Harrington Street
The Rocks NSW 2000.
Located in the old St. Patrick School Hall, just behind Grosvenor Place.

It's that time again.... following hugely successful presentations at Wiki Wednesdays in various corporate contexts, wikimedia folk may feel a return to their spiritual stomping ground (the pub) is timely. I'm sure the regular, friendly crowd would especially like to meet any wiki contributors who haven't been able to get along to one of these before, we'll basically just have a few drinks and chew the cud.

There will be two meetups because not everyone can come to both.

[edit] meetup 1: Friday 17th April

This is the night of the final day of the "Unlocking IP" conference. Perhaps some attendees from that would like to come to the meetup

It happened :-) - or so I'm told, having unfortunately not made it :-( - come on down to the next one on Wed :-) Privatemusings (talk) 07:04, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Meetup 2: Wednesday 22nd April

  • Can't make [17th], I'm in Melbourne from 17-21 April (and out of the country from May 3 until February next year or so) — Werdna • talk 06:44, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
  • I'm available for this or the 17th. Angela. 06:55, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
  • both dates are fine. Absolutely looking forward! schomynv 09:51, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Prefer 22nd but might also be able to make 17th Mike (talk) 00:14, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
  • Do I have to be 18 and over to go to the Paragon? Hohohob (talk) 11:55, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
  • yeah - I think you would have to be - but the place Cas. suggests may take under 18s - I'll check and update... Privatemusings (talk) 00:59, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
  • I see the location has changed. I think this place should be ok for under 18s... Hohohob (talk) 22:06, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Would love to come, but cannie make it
