Wikipedia:Meetup/Brattleboro

The first Brattleboro, Vermont Wikipedia meetup! Come meet other Wikipedia contributors and have a refreshing drink (type pending location)! User:Sadads is moving to Brattleboro VT in August 2015 and as a Wikipedian with lots of interest in collaborating with other Wikipedians in the area, he thought he would reach out to everyone, and see what people are up to in the region! Come join us for a meetup sometime during the week of 24-30 May when he comes and visits the town.

UPDATE: We are meeting at 4:30 on Thursday May 28 at the COOP in Brattleboro for coffee and tea (or possibly a shift somewhere else).

Unavailable that week, but would like to be informed of future events in Southern Vermont or region around Brattleboro/Amherst.

Add *{{User|Example}} below if you would like to be informed of future events.

Don't know what my work schedule will bring that week. Lot of ifs, but if I have one of those days off and a couple of other people are interested I'd go. C628 (talk) 03:15, 29 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the invite! I'm not sure I can carve out the time for a drive to Brattleboro that week but would love to stay informed. Happy to host a meetup in NH sometime if folks are interested.Ssenier (talk) 11:51, 5 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Just now (almost 3 years later) seeing this. Have you moved to Brattleboro and settled in okay? Mrs. Grobe (talk) 01:04, 17 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Where should we meet?

Historically, informal meetups are best done at a pub or coffee shop with WiFi where you get a chance to pull out the laptop and show off your current project. Pizza is also good! If you are a local, please leave a suggestion below:

- Hi there - I think the Whetstone Station would be a good place.

- Yo! I'm up for this. The Cafe at the Brattleboro Food Coop is fine for up to 4-6 people. For more, maybe we would need a dedicated space like the River Garden? JohnWilmerding (talk) 11:58, 4 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @JohnWilmerding:, I like the idea of Whetstone (I am a local beer hobbyist, so am constantly checking out breweries). But the coop is fine to (I am imagining they have coffee?). Anyway looking forward to meeting soon, seeing if we can get @C628: to confirm availability. I don't have anything scheduled yet except on Tuesday, early morning: so we can see what time they are available, Sadads (talk) 14:25, 21 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@JohnWilmerding and C628: I am going to make a judgement call and say 4:30 at the COOP on Thursday 28 for coffee/tea, etc; sorry for the crazy late scheduling: the rest of my trip was coming together very last minute (apartment hunting, etc), Sadads (talk) 13:54, 25 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
