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)

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

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)

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

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

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

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)

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

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

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)

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)

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

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

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)

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)

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)

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

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)

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

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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

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)

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)

Jimbo in Perth, 24 April

http://www.educationau.edu.au/jahia/Jahia/challenging. Hesperian 02:16, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

$300 incl GST :| Orderinchaos 05:42, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Forget that; I was thinking he might like some company over dinner. Hesperian 05:45, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Whats the bet that no-one in the wiki heirarchy/ jimbo minder dept even looks at the wa project or its trappings before coming here - 1 round at the next meetup i make it on that ! Satu Suro 08:03, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

I reckon you'll be wrong - and 1st round on me if I'm mistaken. I'm clearing my diary for a dinner invite on the 24/4. —Moondyne 08:24, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

I thinks we have a date range for the next meetup somewhere between 23-25 April, since he's in Adelaide on the 23rd and in Sydney on the 26 given the restrictions to aircraft in sydney his flight will probably be during the day on 25th. How about we send him an email with an invite to a meetup for late drinks on the 24th. Gnan garra 12:43, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Oh hell that means I shout first round... do it! - maybe signed on behalf of the 1st meetup group - iand on behalf of all the rest ? Satu Suro 12:48, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Sounds like a great idea to me. (Also given the 25th is Anzac Day there wouldn't be much else for him to do...) Orderinchaos 13:29, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Um do you mean the Perth of the fictitious appelations of 'dullsville', and the old tourist promo of 'relax in a state of excitement' would be short of something to do on a public holiday. ?Satu Suro 13:36, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

I've taken the plunge and left a message at User_talk:Jimbo_Wales#Perth April 24 Gnan garra 13:41, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Good call Gnangarra, nice to see if Jimbo would be willing to meet up with the WA wikipedians. thewinchester 23:56, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

I strongly recommend you also email your message to jwales (at) wikia (dot) com, as its likely he won't even see your message there. Jimbo's user talk page is generally only visited by trolls and upset people. The vast majority of messages on that page are handled by other Wikipedians on Jimbo's behalf. Hesperian 00:19, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

I have now email an invitation as well. Gnan garra 04:20, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Jimbo response

I recieved a response from Jimbo last night about a meetup, only opportunity will be breakfast on the 24th. Gnan garra 01:59, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Any indication where he is staying? That will have import of where the most relevant location to have the breakfast is - an issue already pursued by the Adelaide meetup Satu Suro 02:17, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Regardless, I should be there. Poor guy, he gets breaky with the croweaters the day before. —Moondyne 02:54, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Sandgroper antidote for a very rushed person :) Satu Suro 02:58, 15 March 2007 (UTC) The following unsahsamedly adapted from Adelaide meetup page Satu Suro 05:36, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

According to http://www.educationau.edu.au/jahia/Jahia/challenging his seminar is at the Burswood from 9:30 to 4:00pm 24/4. Its a fair guess he's staying there. —Moondyne 06:02, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Burswood - domestic airport and get through the hoops - all in 25 minutes? I can hear the pA at the airport 'would passenger wales please board flight x now' I hope hes travelling light - maybe he has his own plane? :) Satu Suro 06:11, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Do we have any word yet if Jimbo is interested in attending? thewinchester 09:00, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Gnangaras post top of this section - yes - breakfast only Satu Suro 09:02, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Missed that, blind as a bat. thewinchester 12:51, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Confirmed Jimbo accommodation is within the complex that includes the lecture venue. Gnan garra 02:23, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Venue

I suggested that we have a breakfast in Kings Park utilising the facilities near the Admin buildings. Are there any other suggestions as we should make definite arrangements by this sunday (25th march), that way booking can be made on Monday. Gnan garra 02:23, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Also I'll organise getting Jimbo to/from the venue Gnan garra 02:26, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Meetup 2

To coincide with a visit to Perth by Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales, a breakfast with himself is being mooted.

Where: Botanical Cafe, Kings Park
When: Tuesday 24 April 2007.
Time: 07:00
Menu: http://www.frasersrestaurant.com.au/uploads/documents/food/Botanical%20Menu.pdf
Access:

Location

Possible criteria be:

Somewhere near to hotel so Jimbo can get to his conference easily
Somewhere cheap but edible who want to go can..
A public wireless access point ?
Room enough for 10 people ?
Open by 07:00 am.
Not noisy (VIP for hearing challenged - after that noisy pub last time)

What if

What about a BBQ breakfast in Kings Park there are under cover facilities near the admin buildings that would offer a great sunrise over the city and river. Would beat a cafe Gnan garra 06:22, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

I've got no problems with the Kings Park breakfast, but it's then a matter of organising the food, drinks, and paper products for the event - and more importantly who is skilled enough and wishes to be the most holy custodian of the Barbecue (I don't believe there's an article for that). Failing that, what does everyone describe as 'cheap' around that time of the morning? If people don't feel like cooking, then the breakfast menu for the Botanical Cafe at Frasers Restaurant is reasonably priced for breakfast. Failing that, Bells Cafe at the Barrack Street jetty would be another possible idea. Both locations offer good views of the Swan River which would be a good backdrop for the morning. thewinchester 07:07, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

http://www.frasersrestaurant.com.au/uploads/documents/food/Botanical%20Menu.pdf botanical cafe menu looks ok, a good compromose between the two options Gnan garra 02:32, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Maybe Peruginos???????Nah Frasers sounds okFancyfootwork 08:08, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Semblance of order

To run smoothly we might need:

Name Badges (Thewinchester volunteers)
Digital Camera (Thewinchester volunteers)

I'm happy to take care of various administrative duties. What's the best way for everyone to get their names & WP usernames to me? Can place a contact form on a private website if that suits everybody? thewinchester 06:54, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Email via wikipedia would do it. Gnan garra 06:55, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Also, for those uncomfortable with others knowing their real full names, what protocol should we adopt? (I don't have a problem with this personally, just raising a hypothetical) Orderinchaos 06:57, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Yes, emailing me via WP would be sensible. As for names, I was thinking as a minimum First Name and WP Username on the badge. Surnames optional? thewinchester 07:09, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Attendance

(removed as now redundant - see the relevant section in the main page.) Orderinchaos 06:22, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia_talk:Meetup/Perth#Minors

I agree and will not be attending. petedavo 17:49, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Should be noted that the youngest person who has confirmed, I believe, is either 18 or 19 years of age, looking at the list (I don't ask ages, but I know people's published circumstances so can rule the obvious out) - also we're meeting early in the morning at an odd location on a school day, as well, due to the circumstances by which it came about - so it's definitely not a problem for this meetup. Orderinchaos 21:49, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Actually, some schools dont actually commence term 2 until Thursday the 26th (including AC - and many PSA schools). Although i would like to attend, i feel that the issue of minors (me technically being one) would detract from the event, and would make people feel uncomfortable, and hence i have chosen not to attend. How about next yr, ill be an adult.

I can't speak for others but I would have no particular issues with a 17-year-old attending if we know in advance (the issues are *somewhat* different to those of a year 7 or 8), and it's not as if you're unknown to the Western Australian Wikipedian community. Note that this is only my own view, however. Orderinchaos 17:57, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Nah man, it would be innappropriate. I will not attend until i am legally an adult. Also i want to improve my standing in the community before i come along. Twenty Years 08:54, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Access -- public transport

Anyone need assistance getting to Kings park from the city please let me know, Gnan garra 15:04, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Just so all know, the 37 bus leaves Perth at 6:35am (from Sherwood Court on St Georges Terrace stand R/S) and arrives near the terminus at 6:43am. This might be too early for some though - I'm not absolutely certain I'd get there on time for this bus. Orderinchaos 17:57, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Wow - that grew quickly! And I'm starting to even see real names I know from the past. This should be quite a gathering! Orderinchaos 03:08, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

UserBox

Maybe we should comission a user box that says something like "I met Jimbo at the Perth wikimeetup April 24 2007" Gnan garra 03:31, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

If you append that with "... and all I got was this crappy userbox!" then i'll be sticking that up straight away LOL. Thewinchester ^(talk) 04:48, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

I met Jimbo for early breakfast at the WP:WA WikiMeetup... and all I got was this userbox

User:Gnangarra/Userbox/Perth Meetup 2 Here's a commerative userbox from the meeting, feel free to adjust. Once we're happy with the wording I'll adjust for JimboGnan garra 06:25, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Execellent. That's already in my userpage userbox list. Thewinchester ^(talk) 06:51, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

I made a slight adjustment to mine. User:Fred.e/Awards

I think that we can refer this as the early breakfast, as Jimbo said that this is the meeting at the earliest time of day, lol. Shinjiman ⇔ ♨ 15:41, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Transport

slight issue, but everyone will be either arriving slightly early or slightly late. I'm happy to split a cab (or maxitaxi) depending on numbers from the City or Maylands with any other PT users. Thewinchester ^(talk) 04:24, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Check the route 43 timetables now that TP has taken the warning of interruptions and changes down. The Bus will either get you there for 12:00 or 2:30. Please indicate if you need assistance getting to the venue. I'll be able pick a couple people up on way there. Gnan garra 08:34, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

If i attend, i will be able to take some passengers....if youre willing to put your life in the hands of a P-plater :) Just send me an email closer to the date Twenty Years 09:20, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Minors

I know we all had a massive discussion about this before, but I might attend (unsure atm), and am underage (at that time i will be 17.5), if this causes problems for people i am more than willing not to attend, but i am just flagging my intention to attend here, and that if people are going to have an issue with that, to please leave a message here. Thanks all. Twenty Years 13:29, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

You are welcome to attend. —Moondyne 07:45, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Next meetup/Perth/4

I'd be interested in attending. Powderbark2 03:17, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Meetup/Perth/4

Minors

I would like to know whether minors would be welcome at the next event, regarding Twenty Years' previous attendance. I probably would not go until I am older by a year or two if approved, though. Auroranorth 10:31, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

For me personally, I'd prefer not to have unaccompanied minors at these events, but others have expressed a more liberal view. Its possible that Perth/4 will end up at a licensed venue, in which case it becomes more tricky. The bottom line is, no-one has any authority to stop anyone else attending, and you can be assured that all Wikipedians in good standing will be welcomed courteously. —Moondyne 15:11, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Location

The location for the meeting is the doors to the Alexander Library? Can we think of somewhere more specific with more seating? - Mark 15:07, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

I'll contact the library and see if when can get a meeting room but they arent answering the phone at the moment. Gnan garra 15:12, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Another possibility is one of the many cafes at Northbridge, we could get a table there pretty easily by booking a couple of days ahead. Orderinchaos 16:40, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

I'll wait until after Fridays IRC meeting to see whether there is any need for formal discussions about WM-au as this would influence the type venue. Gnan garra 14:47, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Date/time

Given only three of us have responded affirmatively, along with Moondyne's unfortunate injury and my business with week-before-uni stuff, I think it may be a wise choice to consider deferral. What say others? Orderinchaos 20:10, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

I'm up for it. Is 3 a quorum? —Moondyne 10:03, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

I owe some shouts I'll probably be there Satu Suro 10:12, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

OK it's on then. Just making sure. :) Orderinchaos 10:31, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Photos people, photos!

Where are they? :-) Timeshift (talk) 12:50, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Sorry no picts, it was a northbridge meetup so keeping in line with its media reputation we met only in dark alleys, and drank only in seedy establishments with poor lighting then adjourned to a cafe where the local underworld figures prohibit photographs. Gnan garra

Oh and I didnt bring a camera cause I had other stuff to do before hand, but why let a good story impede on reality :) Gnan garra 13:02, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

November

from Wikipedia talk:Meetup/Perth

Think there might be a good idea to have one before end of year maybe mid november is the best idea so far Satu Suro 05:32, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

That would work too as long as our uni students don't have exams at the time, but they tend to be earlier in November now than they used to be. Orderinchaos 05:49, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Mid to end of November is fine for me. Dan arndt (talk) 04:54, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Thats it lets nail this down 29 Nov either at the james st entrance to the state library or Fremantle Arts centre. Gnan garra 05:52, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Being a south of the river boy the Fremantle Arts Centre would be great. Dan arndt (talk) 06:16, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

good on ya. Moondyne 06:20, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

So this means then that no one is interested in a week or two before the 29th of November? Satu Suro 06:56, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

I would be. As long as it's not the 22nd, as I have exams immediately thereafter. Orderinchaos 04:05, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Since I proposed this I have become aware of two events in the city centre which would also be of interest the first Government house open day on the 18th October 11am-430pm, the second is Heritage Day 15th November in which a number of building inc the town hall, the maj, and old treasury are open to tours. Maybe we could consider a meetup to parallel one of these. Gnan garra 08:54, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

I would prefer the October one, because I'm not in Oz in November. Somno (talk) 05:26, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

I guess October 3 didn't happen? Hesperian 00:11, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

Well it came and went & I didn't hear anything.... Dan arndt (talk) 02:19, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

Where

I thing we should adventure to the outer metro region, we've met in City(Library x2, Kings Park), Freo(arts centre) and Maylands(Tranby House).

personally I'd like to be at/near a venue that would enable a photo opportunity improve articles, something like John Forrest NP Tavern/Tea rooms, Tea rooms Yanchep NP, Cafe Jandakot Airport. Gnan garra 03:07, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

Sounds good. In the same vein, how about Araluen Botanic Park? What are the noise levels like at Jandakot Airport? Graham87 13:01, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
Well, according to this, it should be Craigie High School, Challenge Stadium, or perhaps outside Neale Fong's house. Other options include Casuarina Prison or somewhere with a lot of banksias... My preference would be Yanchep because I'd like a chocolate koala and it's less travel for me than the other suggestions. Haha. However, there's quite a lot of stuff at John Forrest to photograph and write about, and with the recent discussions about the history of WA articles, I like that the article was started in 2002 by a Belgian. (I have been a great help to this discussion, I'm sure. ;) Somno (talk) 02:06, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

I love the Neale Fong's house idea. :) Orderinchaos 02:49, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

Transport

Given if we head further from the city access will become an issue but I'd be happy to pick some people up on the way there, so do not let lack of public transport access stop you suggesting a venue. Gnan garra 03:07, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

I probably will need to call on that - alternately maybe we should have a mini meetup at somewhere fairly central then all go out together to the meetup for an intended time, and those who wish to go directly there can also do so. Would that work? Orderinchaos 03:32, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Fine by me. Dan arndt (talk) 01:21, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

2011

Apparently /6 never happened in 2009. Following was moved from WT:WA. Please continue here. –Moondyne 13:22, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

I wonder who's still around, well I think been too long since we've met as an ~~organised~~ disorganised group as 15 Jan 2011 is the tenth birthday of WP we should met somewhere for an ale or two or three.........hic! speakup and suggest a place, to save you running for the calender its a saturday, well at least it is my calender :) Gnan garra 03:00, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Count me in! I don't care where, but am strongly in favour of your idea of meeting at a licensed venue and imbibing an ale or two or three. :-) Hesperian 03:09, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Add me to the list - am more than happy to find an excuse to imbibe a lager or two or three.... Dan arndt (talk) 03:50, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Works for me –Moondyne 07:55, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

I would like to see if anyone else would like to be a fellow organiser ?? otherwise I am only too pleased to be the default Satu Suro 13:27, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

Venue

I was at the Raffles yesterday arvo and it was crowded and loud and I think unsuitable for our purposes. We need a new venue. –Moondyne 03:57, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

And one of the possibles (who is not coming) said the drinks are not cheap as well Satu Suro 03:58, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Random suggestion - what's Alfred's Kitchen like in that sense? Orderinchaos 06:08, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

nah - not exactly a relaxing quiet location - needs to be more near cbd to be equitable to variant domiciles - perhaps? or otherwise freo? just go out of range :) Satu Suro 06:17, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Have you guys given Little Creatures in Freo any consideration? Its resonably relaxing and spacious, and can be accessed by train. Calistemon (talk) 06:23, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Several of us used that for an informal meetup one time when Casliber was in town. Worked well. Hesperian 06:27, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

He'll be around the same week but not the same day unfortunately if i got the rumour right - I support a Freo meetup - cheers Satu Suro 06:35, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Little Creatures is fine with me. –Moondyne 11:13, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Do they sell anything other than beer? I don't actually drink beer - or anything alcoholic when I'm driving (which I will be). Do they do soft drinks? Mitch Ames (talk) 13:14, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

All such institutions always have water and orange and lemonade for a variety of reasols like that Satu Suro 13:19, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, I don't drink at all and the pub venues we've had in the past have been fine in that way. Orderinchaos 02:45, 5 January 2011 (UTC)

see what happens when one gets side tracked I missed this, IMHO Little creatures on the water in Freo on a saturday arvo(temp in the mid 30's) will be impossible for more than 4-5 people to meet at. Gnan garra 14:48, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

Forecast's currently high 20s for Saturday. Orderinchaos 12:30, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

SatuSuro valiantly sacrificed last sunday(and himself) to inspect the venue, after sampling all the beers, a selection of softdrinks and pizzas he says that if we can obtain an outside table it should be fine. Gnan garra 03:41, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

Just gotta make sure whoever gets the first snaffles a 'large' table.Dan arndt (talk) 06:25, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

SatuSuro's dedication and commitment to this project are a shining light to all of us! Hope he didn't feel to unwell the next day! Well, if we can't get a table we can always drink cheap gin out of a brown paper bag in the park next door. Calistemon (talk) 09:13, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

All the above about me is pure lies - the only result of the visit is http://www.flickr.com/photos/satusuro/5338010717/ - as for the rest - further developments soon - cheers Satu Suro 01:28, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

I think Creatures is a great idea; there's good wireless reception most parts of it too, if that's a consideration at all. Will someone have some sort of sign or somesuch? :-) — Sam Wilson ( Talk • Contribs ) … 13:51, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

Ask at the door LC has really good staff greeting and seating people they'll know where to find us. Gnan garra 04:04, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

Aftermath

It was great, to finally put faces to the familiar WA editors and meet in person. Thanks for the free T-shirt! Calistemon (talk) 12:00, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

It was great to catchup with everybody, there we were taking about articles that needed photographs and Little Creatures (brewery) needed some, I got one of the pizza oven but nothing of the venue looks like we'll have to go back there again ;) Gnangarra 13:09, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
- Maybe we could get a "backstage pass" to tour the microbrewery bit of it? :) Orderinchaos 13:19, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
  - I'll drink to that!. Good to catch up. I note someone had his shirt on back to front. Taxi!! –Moondyne 13:46, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
    The shrt was fine. I was just standing in it backwards. ;-) Hesperian 23:36, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
    - Hope everyone arrived home safely - have a good weekend one and all - looking forward to whatever we do next Satu Suro 13:51, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

It was nice to meet all of you. And thanks for the T-shirt. - Kollision (talk) 04:50, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

Yes, absolutely: a great afternoon; good to meet you all. I'm excited about the possibilities of collaboration between us and the Fremantle Society ~~(hmm... redlink eh? I'm really not doing my bit yet am I? I'll get on to that)~~. As for the t-shirt: I went to a fancy dress party last night, and tried to go as a 'wikipedian' — but unfortunately that got voted too nerdy, so I donned a frock... — Sam Wilson ( Talk • Contribs ) … 05:41, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

Nerdy? I would say our gathering was not in the slightest of nerds - shame on your friends/associates/acquaintances !!! Satu Suro 08:24, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

You're right, and I think I would've been acceptable if only there'd been some tassles, or perhaps shoulder pads, on the t-shirt. Some bling. ;-) — Sam Wilson ( Talk • Contribs ) … 14:15, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

WikiRapper? :P Orderinchaos 13:24, 1 February 2011 (UTC)

What are people's thoughts on having a meetup in a month or so - say the weekend of 19-20 August? Orderinchaos 18:03, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

Good Idea - place, time, etc ? Satu Suro 00:10, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

interesting Gnan garra 00:23, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

Sure somewhere warm, preferably with a fire & a liquor licence... Dan arndt (talk) 04:59, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

Where would be a good place? Orderinchaos 09:14, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

Count me in. Might I suggest the cafe at the state library as a suitable venue? — Sam Wilson ( Talk • Contribs ) … 11:37, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

On consensus of several of the participants, the discussion was archived as - a - it wasn't leading to a meetup per the topic of this page and - b - strayed into a range of other topics best kept to a meetup rather than public online discussion. Orderinchaos 10:56, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

suggestion

It is clear that some soapboxing has broken out here - and I must apologise for being involved - I do think we need to get back to focus on whether a general social meetup is possible in August without anything on the agenda other than a catchup and meetup - anything further really needs to be pursued elsewhere Satu Suro 10:11, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

Yes, absolutely. Let's just have a nice, non-political, get-together. I brought up the library only because it's a nice cafe, and we all like the sort of place it is (politics aside)! They do have lots of PD stuff, and they've never minded me sitting there with a digital camera photographing stuff; so I might go and do a bit more of that, one side or t'other of the meetup. ;-) — Sam Wilson ( Talk • Contribs ) … 10:47, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
I have enough on my plate at work so my preference is a social gathering & besides SatuSuro owes me a beer. Dan arndt (talk) 02:18, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

venue

Any suggestions? Preferably somewhere not too expensive which sells beer :p Orderinchaos 03:29, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

I'd vote for Little Creatures again! But perhaps somewhere in the city would be better, from the transport point of view. I don't know Perth pubs. — Sam Wilson ( Talk • Contribs ) … 03:57, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

Someone really has to stick his/her head out at some stage, and suggest a pub in Perth, so here goes - I think the nearest pub to the State Library that bears any resemblance to Little Creatures is the Brass Monkey. What about that? Bahnfrend (talk) 05:26, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

Great. 4PM Saturday August 20th (to pluck a slightly random time out of the aether)? — Sam Wilson ( Talk • Contribs ) … 05:43, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

I think that the Great Western (Brass Monkey) Hotel would be a great venue - close to public transport & parking... Dan arndt (talk) 07:47, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

The only problem with Brass Monkey (having been at one meetup there in 2007) is that it's rather loud / difficult to hold a conversation there. Looking at other places, though, everything is incredibly expensive or is out of the way, so it may well be the only choice. I'd also propose slightly earlier - say 2:30pm on Saturday. Orderinchaos 13:27, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

Given that it's this weekend, and it'd be good to get word out to people who aren't watching this page — is there consensus for 2:30PM on the 20th at the Brass Monkey? — Sam Wilson ( Talk • Contribs ) … 06:35, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

I can support that. If someone comes up with something better, they'd better be quick :) Orderinchaos 06:47, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

I can't make until about 4pm - so hopefully you'll stick around for a couple of hours before I get there. Dan arndt (talk) 07:22, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

We all tend to be fashionably late no matter what time is agreed upon, so that's fine :) Orderinchaos 07:26, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, absolutely. It's a pub! ;-) — Sam Wilson ( Talk • Contribs ) … 07:32, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

Spam!

I just spammed pretty much everyone in Category:Wikipedians in Perth; hope no one minds. :-) I left out users who hadn't contributed for more than a couple of years. — Sam Wilson ( Talk • Contribs ) … 08:03, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

There are probably quite a few people in Category:Wikipedians in Western Australia who are also from Perth, but are not in the Perth subcat. Graham87 15:01, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, I figured there might be, but there's lots more users there, and now I'll have to check for duplicates; I might do it this afternoon. :-) What is the quick way to do this sort of invitation? — Sam Wilson ( Talk • Contribs ) … 05:09, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

IIRC you could use AWB to send out all the invitations relatively quickly. Graham87 09:47, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

Suggest

Date: Suggest 17th around 2pm I know Ellenbrook is out the way but its somewhere really different, the pub is nice and easy to find and its bout time we met up again. Gnan garra 08:16, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

The 17th works for me, I'm new to Perth (but not to Wikipedia), so this will be my first.--kelapstick^(bainuu) 09:22, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

I'd suggest something closer to public transport - how about Guildford, just for something different? Orderinchaos 10:55, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

Guildford hotel has a great outdoor area :) ..seriously Rose n Crown is nice pub Gnan garra 11:26, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

Rose and crown as long it doesnt have any music playing Satu Suro 11:49, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

I'd have to agree that Guildford would be a better option - close to the railway and public transport for those who don't have a car.Dan arndt (talk) 02:08, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

Indeed. Also as we've previously done Perth and Freo several times it is somewhere which is easier for the Hills people / eastern suburbs to get to. Orderinchaos 04:55, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

Ok I've put it down as the RnC on the 17th March at 14:30, but it can still be changed if need be. Gnangarra 05:57, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
- That day is Saint Patrick's Day ... or was that the plan in the first place? I can't imagine that the pub would be too much more hectic *already* at 2:30 ... or would it make a difference to the noise level? Graham87 09:30, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
  - Well if you need an excuse to have drink with friends whats better than St Pats day :) Gnangarra 09:48, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
    - Just looking at the drinks menu pints are around $9 couple of cheaper exceptions. Gnan garra 09:55, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

Try again?

Okay, how about Saturday the 28th of June? 13:00 at the National Hotel? They seem to like booking tables for hens' parties, so surely they can fit us in! :-) Sam Wilson 08:19, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

I had understood that this was to be a special meeting at the Alexander Library about forming a user group, and that our next regular meeting was to be at the National Hotel in early August (ie after the usual three month interval) ... Bahnfrend (talk) 08:29, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

Hm, okay, good point. So how about the 28th at the library, for the usergroup discussion? :) Sam Wilson 13:01, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

Email discussion seems to be leaning towards next weekend instead: Saturday 5 July. How's that sound? Or is the week after that better (Saturday 12 July)? I know, how about a 'doodle'? http://doodle.com/k9er3izd39pqaq6k Sam Wilson 03:05, 27 June 2014 (UTC)

Yes, good idea re a date for the next one. Talk at Wikipedia talk:Meetup/Perth/16?

Location

I have contacted the Bakery they will make space for us on the balcony right where we had lunch on the bus trip. Gnan garra 15:55, 25 March 2014 (UTC)

Other events or activities?

Previous e-mails have alluded to:

an area set up in the Tourist Centre for us to chat to people about what we are doing
~~a song and dance number to officially launch the Toodyaypedia project in the town hall~~
~~a couple of other events being discussed including an official wizz bang launch~~

Can we have some definite details please, either here or via e-mail, so we (individually or collectively) can plan our day. Mitch Ames (talk) 13:39, 26 April 2014 (UTC)

principally the area in the tourist centre for the day(need to check times ~10-4) and lunch/coffee at the bakery at 13:30, there will also be a treasure hunt that incorporates toodyaypedia codes running on the day with the end point being the tourist centre. The other activities alluded to are potential future materialization though at this stage nothing that could be considered beyond vague hypothesis' for another date..

Confirmation?

@Gnangarra, Bahnfrend, SatuSuro, and Mitch Ames: Thus far there's been no objection to the suggestions, so can we confirm these details, i.e. Saturday 2 May, 12pm tour of Sandalfords, followed by lunch at Houghtons (around 1:15 – 1:30pm) - Evad37 [talk] 09:55, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

ok with me satusuro 10:07, 26 April 2015 (UTC)
Me, too. As we are only a small group, those wishing to do the tour at Sandalfords should book with Sandalfords direct (group discounts are available only for groups of 20 or more). Bahnfrend (talk) 10:17, 26 April 2015 (UTC)
OK. (Sandalfords are not answering their phone, so I've sent an e-mail to book my place on the tour.) Mitch Ames (talk) 05:38, 27 April 2015 (UTC)

Meetup getting close

Is this meetup still going ahead? If so, what time, and where? Pinging @Evad37, Samwilson, Mitch Ames, JarrahTree, Dan arndt, Gnangarra, Orderinchaos, Bjenks, Graham87. Bahnfrend (talk) 08:58, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

How about lunch on Saturday? 1pm at the library cafe? Or is that too normal? There're probably lots of other places that'd be nice. Sam Wilson 09:59, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

complicated - [1] - goes for two days JarrahTree 10:20, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

Soon - it's two days away.

Time's running out for organising anything (else). 1pm at Aroma Cafe, State Library of Western Australia works for me. Do we have a quorum?

(I'd probably be able to make any other reasonable time/place if necessary.)

Mitch Ames (talk) 12:04, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

can do saturday but will be late Gnan garra 12:32, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

Usual time and place would probably be good – library is probably pretty central to a number of open house perth locations. - Evad37 [talk] 12:58, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
Saturday I'll be sailing all afternoon. Boat is on the water at 1pm. I'm heading overseas for seven weeks at the end of this month, so I'd hate to miss a chance to catch up before I go. Dan arndt (talk) 13:28, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
Usual time and place would suit me. Bahnfrend (talk) 13:33, 5 November 2015 (UTC)
Usual time could do if that's ok - but maybe something separate for meetup with Dan before he goes os? JarrahTree 23:07, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

@Dan arndt: Are you available to meetup any time on Sunday? - Evad37 [talk] 23:38, 5 November 2015 (UTC)

Sunday would be a problem for me. Perhaps we could just say there'll be a gathering at the usual time and place on both days. Bahnfrend (talk) 00:51, 6 November 2015 (UTC)
- A Sunday meetup would be in addition to the Saturday meetup – due to Open House Perth being on both days this weekend. - Evad37 [talk] 01:28, 6 November 2015 (UTC)

Venue

Anyone have any ideas/preferences? We could go somewhere on/near the Cappuccino Strip – e.g. Gino's, Dome, San Churro, The Coffee Club, etc. - Evad37 [talk] 08:56, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

I prefer quiet to loud, so coffee shop rather than pub. Bonus points if there is no TV or music playing in the background. Mitch Ames (talk) 11:47, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

Agreed. Parlapa is a nice place, just opposite the town hall on William Street at about 32°03′16″S 115°44′52″E / 32.054434°S 115.747639°E. Some of the cafes on the main strip can get quite chockers at 1 pm maybe? Sam Wilson 00:53, 24 February 2016 (UTC)

concerned re noise - so agree with mitch. JarrahTree 14:39, 24 February 2016 (UTC)

Sure, less noise is better. I'm fine with Sam's suggestion – shall we put that on the meetup page? - Evad37 [talk] 01:22, 26 February 2016 (UTC)

Yes. Mitch Ames (talk) 12:50, 26 February 2016 (UTC)

So... where's it to be? Someone said they had a place in mind I think, but I've forgotten it. —Sam Wilson 08:51, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
