Wikipedia talk:Meetup/Utah

Where to meet?

What do folks think of a Salt Lake City or County library? User:Rachel Helps (BYU) can't make it, but thought Lehi might be more central. Unfortunately I don't have library privileges there. KarenJoyce (talk) 20:28, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

Also, I have more enthusiasm than experience with Wikimeetups. Advice is welcome! KarenJoyce (talk) 21:00, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

I'm living in Saratoga Springs, but could make a Salt Lake County meetup. Tod Robbins (talk) 22:52, 1 August 2022 (UTC)

@Nihonjoe and Todrobbins: Do we even like Saturday 11-1 at a library? Would something like tacos on Friday night be preferable? @TaivoLinguist: would you want to meet up during Wikimania next weekend Aug 11-13? KarenJoyce (talk) 18:54, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

@KarenJoyce: Unless it's indoors, if it's too much above 85°F, I wouldn't be able to come. This heat is (medically) not good for me. It would also take me an hour (or more, depending on traffic) to get there. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 19:14, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

はじめまして and thanks for clarifying that. Let's definitely stay indoors, and consider another city as I'm willing to travel. If there's little interest in a purely social meetup, we can also plan a meeting with an agenda in the fall when User:Rachel Helps (BYU) and others are free. Honestly I'm just envious of those in Wiki communities large enough for a meetup and wanted to try to grow interest here. I didn't learn of Wikimania until August 1, so this is definitely last-minute planning. KarenJoyce (talk) 19:36, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

If people want to meet at a restaurant on Saturday, August 13 around noon, I'm up for that. I'm also good if we want to do it on a different day. Saturdays are best for me.

August 13th doesn't work for me, but I'll be in touch for future events 👍🏻 Tod Robbins (talk) 03:01, 5 August 2022 (UTC)

@KarenJoyce: Let's finalize where to meet, if we're still doing this. It's being geo-advertized, so we should have a location finalized. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 18:47, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

Good idea, @Nihonjoe:! What's for lunch? I eat everything. We can move it 30-60 minutes away from Salt Lake City if we like. KarenJoyce (talk) 22:18, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

@KarenJoyce: How about Cafe Rio? They have decent food, and they're pretty close to the freeway exit at Thanksgiving Point. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 00:09, 11 August 2022 (UTC)

@Nihonjoe Sounds fine! They should be less busy with the office workers away. KarenJoyce (talk) 01:30, 11 August 2022 (UTC)

@KarenJoyce: Okay, so Cafe Rio in Lehi on Saturday, August 13, from 11am to 1pm. Also, I moved this discussion to the main talk page. @Acumm12715, Admrboltz, Adrian Comollo, AmericanKnight, Argyleist, CKStark, Cool Hand Luke, Cortina2, Davehi1, EWS23, FallingGravity, GeekX, GreenGlass1972, KarenJoyce, Maxyman101, Ntsimp, Persaius, Qfl247, Rachel Helps (BYU), Raymondwinn, Robert Horning, Scg411, Scottmas, TaivoLinguist, Todrobbins, Tubaclarinet, Tyrocker, Useight, Useight's Public Sock, The Utahraptor, and Zul32: so they know the details, too. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 17:11, 11 August 2022 (UTC)

I'm a maybe on this. I've got tickets for free admission to Seven Peaks (or whatever it's called now) that expire at the end of the season, so I was possibly going to go there on the 13th. Depends on the weather. If it's swimming weather, I'll be at Seven Peaks; if it's rainy, I'll come to this luncheon. Useight (talk) 17:36, 11 August 2022 (UTC)

I’m in a yellow button-down shirt. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 17:20, 13 August 2022 (UTC)

It was good to meet up, though the crowd was very small (just me and KarenJoyce). We'll have to sort out another time when more people can show up. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 21:11, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

Would love if this wasn't happening on Valentine's Day, but look forward to hearing about the discussion afterwards! Tod Robbins (talk) 21:51, 13 February 2023 (UTC)

Same sentiment as Tod! Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 16:53, 14 February 2023 (UTC)

@Todrobbins and Rachel Helps (BYU): We'd like to invite you to RSVP for the next US Mountain West meeting, which will be May 9: Wikipedia:Meetup/US Mountain West/2023-05-09.--Pharos (talk) 16:44, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

I just flaked and didn't see this, but would happily attend next time. I'm generally more interested in user meetups than editing Mountain West topics. KarenJoyce (talk) 19:53, 7 May 2023 (UTC)

It's not written in the clearest of formats, but the "next time" is actually tomorrow night, May 9th. Useight (talk) 03:17, 9 May 2023 (UTC)

Wiknic, anyone?

Anyone want to meet up August 5 or 6 as part of Wiknic 2023? I'd be happy to help organize something. KarenJoyce (talk) 23:21, 7 July 2023 (UTC)

Make that August 27, and let's move to Wikipedia:Meetup/Utah/Wiknic 2023. We'll find a venue in Salt Lake City with air conditioning. KarenJoyce (talk) 16:56, 7 August 2023 (UTC)

That sounds like a fun idea. Useight (talk) 02:33, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
