For details of previous meetups please see Wikipedia:Meetup/Brisbane.

When? 12 noon Saturday, 26 November 2016
Where? The Edge, State Library of Queensland in Window Bay #6, the one more-or-less directly ahead of you as you enter The Edge (there's only one main door). If you can't spot us, ask the friendly staff to direct you.

Although The Edge is part of State Library, it is not in the main State Library building but in the adjacent building along the river back towards the Victoria Bridge. See this SLQ map and this Edge map.

The Edge has a kiosk that sells a small selection of sandwiches, muffins and hot/cold drinks at reasonable prices. They don't mind you bringing your own food and/or takeaways from elsewhere. The nearest "elsewhere" is the State Library Cafe and the Qld Museum Cafe.

The advantages of window bays at The Edge are:

fantastic river views
we can hook up laptops to a screen so we can do any "show and tell". Some past requests were Visual Editor, AutoWikiBrowser and Wikidata. I am happy to demo these or anything else (to the extent I can understand them myself!) If there is any interest in anything of this nature, please let me know in advance.

There is plenty of public transport available. Take the bus either to the Cultural Centre interchange. Or, just slightly closer, the State Library bus stop. Or take the train to South Brisbane station. Or take the CityCat to Southbank and walk along the river bank.

There is car parking at the Cultural Centre (State Libary, Art Gallery/Museum and QPAC) are closest, $16 per entry. Or slightly further afield is South Bank and Convention Centre parking (both charge for the time you are there). For free parking, try along Montague Road area, but read the parking signs carefully to check if it is free or metred.

See you all there! Kerry (talk) 06:27, 8 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

Venue/Date

The idea is that this is vaguely a Christmas/End of Year occasion, as December tends to be too complicated to organise meetups.

Apologies

I have moved back from Brisbane to Germany, so sadly I can't come to this. But I hope you have a nice afternoon! EvMsmile (talk) 11:53, 8 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I'm overseas at the moment and not sure of my work roster when I return. Will let you know next week.--Dmol (talk) 10:18, 11 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Have to work that day (my last weekend for 2016), but thank you Kerry!
Thank you for letting me know about the schedule, but I was not able to make it as I had another work task. Please do let me know the next schedule in the new year 2017. Goodtiming8871 (talk) 05:00, 12 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
