Proposed date/time location

Thought this had been milling around the cosmos for too long so heres a suggestion:

DATE: Wednesday 24th January 2007
TIME: 1800 hrs or 6pm WDT
LOCN:'Alexander Library Building at the entrance in the image

So what does everyone think? Gnangarra 12:45, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds good to me. Orderinchaos 13:32, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Possible after sch holidays finished? My kids want to go wandering in that week SatuSuro 13:35, 14 January 2007 (UTC) I think so- but dont let me spoil the party lets wait to see how many respondees show their knees! SatuSuro 14:05, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Would a week after that be OK? Orderinchaos 13:48, 14 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, won't be able to come to anything like this. I do apologize--M W Johnson 00:40, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm flexible anytime after the 22nd. Time and location proposed is good for me. —Moondyne 03:13, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

24hours does some wierd stuff when I suggested it was a good time for me, 1 phone call I'll be in Sydney that day so wont be able to make it 8{, but dont let that stop it from happening. Gnangarra 07:38, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

DATE: Wednesday ~~24th~~ 31st January 2007

So no pints then? :@/ SeanMack 11:59, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OK so since that one fell right apart, does anyone have any suggestions for a new date we can all make? :) Orderinchaos 12:51, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Any CBD(ish) pub - late afternoon, on any friday... pub isn't mandatory. This kind of organisation is never going to be easy I fear. Personally Fridays are better for me. But I'll try and make any day/location that gets support. SeanMack 13:03, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thursday is OK here. SeanMack 13:39, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Heheh off to a good start I cannot do fridays = would prefer thursday! SatuSuro 13:17, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wed or Thurs is probably best for most. I'm available on those days any week, would prefer a meetup before mid-Feb as I'll be full time studying from then. Orderinchaos 13:29, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As order and fred have said to each other off here - we need to wait for some to return from breaks post oz weekend and etc - but a thursday looks good SatuSuro 13:47, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Son of Proposed date/time location

Thursday, The First day of February, in the ear of our lords: Twenty hundred and Seven. Well-met fellows may congregate at the public house, the Sail and Anchor, in the Central business District. Or ...

alternative arrangements to be set by accord upon missive from those with apologies or other business and locale.

2007-02-01.20:00? Yay or neigh. Fred 15:04, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think there's bylaws preventing a neigh in that general locale? :) Orderinchaos 05:05, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

How about

Ok we've kicked this around for two weeks, lets commit to meetup

Suggestions based on earlier discussions,

DATE: 1 Feb (thursday)
Time: 1900 (7pm)
LOCN: Battye Library

lets kick this around until tonight. Then we'll set them in stone. Gnan garra 04:13, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's OK with me. I'm in. —Moondyne 04:20, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'm in too. Orderinchaos 05:08, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Highly likely SatuSuro 06:12, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Will there be cakes? Fred 11:24, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Well timed looks good for me too. Thanks for the heads up Hesp. Ghostieguide 05:14, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hesperian 11:32, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- There's some rabble listed here. I suppose that's a quorum. —Moondyne 13:25, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - So it looks like we're meeting tomorrow night then! Orderinchaos 15:50, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yep - all good. SeanMack 22:28, 30 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

To clarify: the whole building is the Alexander Library; the Battye Library is just the WA history library on the third(?) floor. Is it really intended that we meet on the third floor... where one cannot take one's bags... and one must keep quiet? Or would be prefer to meet out the front of the Alexander Library building? Hesperian 04:52, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I don't know why they made it so confusing - the Alexander Library building which contains the State Library of Western Australia (which everyone seems to just call the Alexander) and the (J.S.) Battye Library... I'd assumed we would meet near those weird runic objects out the front somewhere. One minor point - I don't think any of us know what anyone else looks like. Are we going to have a little flag or a sign or something? :) Orderinchaos 05:03, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Gawd what abunch - Moondyne and self have met. Outside the coffee place next to where you go in - not upstairs or outside is what I vote...SatuSuro 05:19, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Meetup/Perth/1 in this notice i said near the entrance pictured, but where ever is fine the library is open til 2000/2030. Gnan garra

Gnangarra, Moondyne and SatuSuro can identify each other (SORRY gnangarra - many times met and forgot to mention) ... :( sigh kids first day back at school and the brain is fried already SatuSuro 07:47, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I put it down to the after affects of this mornings ~~perty~~party(hic!) Gnan garra

What has me curious is there are two pages re this meetup -... ummm SatuSuro 07:57, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I will unfortunately not be able to attend the meetup, but am moving to Perth for Uni later in Feb so I will be at any future meetups. Hossen27 08:30, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

copied note to meetup page Gnan garra 08:45, 31 January 2007 (UTC) [reply]

Seems our "can visually identify" graph looks something like this:

Gn - M — H — Gh
  \ /
  SS

O, F and SM can look out for a bunch of nerds shaking hands ;-) Hesperian 10:25, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Gn   M — H — Gh
  \ /
  SS

It more linear, I'll have my camera(with reinforced lense) with me, let me know(quietly if you prefer) if you dont want to be photographed or excluded from any images I upload. Gnan garra 10:35, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry,

Gn — SS - M — H — Gh

then. Just don't ask me to draw the fully connected graph after tomorrow. ;-) Hesperian 11:17, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The graph above has 5 listed - and we have 8 people possibly there - maybe someone needs to copy off the wiki logo onto an A4 and wave it madly from 6.59 at the alex door?
For any of the uninitiated - I'm the bald one with a moustache :)
Interesting 56 participants of Perth project (OK no necessary residential connection) and about a third of that in the wa project - and we get 8 interested internees - is that on a par with other city projects in oz? SatuSuro 11:48, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ah but H & Gh have met and I have my pic on my userpage plus the Irish connection btw Sm and Gh therefore

Gn   M — H - Fe - Or
   \ /\
   SS  Gh + Sm = 1.5 C_nH_2n+1OH perhaps?

Ghostieguide 12:09, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just don't bring it into contact with HCl or Na⁺ :) I'll probably be in a black t-shirt and pants, those who know my full name can find a 2-year-old pic of me pretty easily. Orderinchaos 12:50, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

("'Black t-shirt )- Ah northbridge unifrom - excellent for attracting hyde park mossies...SatuSuro 12:54, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Dont forget the knuckle dusters, swords and a couple of flagons of CH₃OH & about 30x12-14 year olds and we'd fit right in at Russell Square(after dark) :)

As for the numbers most have had 12-14 on the first meet(all with a lead time of more than 4 days), the exceptions have been associated with a significant event so our 8 is a better than average. We'll need to think/begin planning for a more notiable event to occur during april/may. Gnan garra 13:24, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe we should do a POV review of the Northbridge area with OR and with a lack of V and N with a slight taste of New Changes patrol? SatuSuro 13:29, 31 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
