Participants of October's meetup are invited to join us again. Another meetup will be scheduled June 23 for strictly social purposes.

Discussion

Where

Can Kathryn Linnemann library in St. Charles[1] take us again? Would be good if we could get a 3+ hours time slot in January around Wikipedia's 11th anniversary. I could also arrange something with director,User:Tcooperwgpl of Webster Groves Public Library if we want a meetup closer to the St. Louis area.

I can check with KL (or someone else can), but I kind of like the idea of something closer to downtown St. Louis, too.El on ka 05:52, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I let Webster Groves library know. They'll be glad to have us

I'll advertise the event a little bit to see if we can get a few first-time contributors to join us. Marcus Qwertyus 00:12, 6 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Here is an experimental Facebook group for coordinating [2]. Marcus Qwertyus 00:12, 6 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Looking forward to the meetup at Webster Groves this Saturday! I'll bring my laptop. --El on ka 16:41, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'll see you there. Marcus Qwertyus 18:01, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The meetup after next

The second annual Wiknic is a social event held in cities across the nation.

Saturday, June 23, at 11am~1pm
Forest Park Visitors' Center [3] (map) (aka the Dennis & Judith Jones Visitor & Education Center)

We may need some sort of occupancy permit for the next meetup if our group gets too big. Not sure if this applies if we have it outdoors.
