[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.

[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)
