It seems like a good idea to try an organise a meetup with more time in advance. Anyone interested in getting together in November? Current locations include Bruneli's or Scoozi Caffe Bar on Rundle Street, a meal at Sarah's, a pub (good for beer, but perhaps less good for younger members), or the Writer's Centre on Rundle Street, and perhaps have a talk or similar. Suggestions would be much appreciated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bilby (talk • contribs) 14:48, 28 September 2011

Will try to finally make this one. All of above options good for me, but prefer cafe over restaurant such as Sarah's just because it's more limited for casual/non-meal options. Donama (talk) 00:17, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

Obviously there wasn't enough interest in holding a meetup in November. This may not be a good time to start up a discussion but, if we want to hold one early next year, I'm willing to start trying to raise some interest now. Cheers, Bahudhara (talk) 13:11, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

I am new and interested in a meeting in Adelaide Marty149 (talk) 07:45, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

The lack of response to Marty149's post indicates that many people may still be on holiday, or maybe that they really aren't all that interested in having a meetup just for the sake of it, if there are no particular issues to be discussed.

I was inspired by meeting Liam Wyatt at the last meetup, and I am interested in setting up a GLAM project with the SA Museum. However I am busy right now with organising an event at the Torrens Island Quarantine Station on Sunday January 29, which may be of interest to some of those involved with the Adelaide Wikiproject; so I'd like to help organise a meetup some time after that, perhaps in mid-February.

Yes, sounds workable. Donama (talk) 07:12, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

I'm good for it. What sort of venue? - Bilby (talk) 07:29, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

Torrens Island quarantine station sounds good and interesting :) Seriously, just a public venue easily accessible from the CBD as per usual so it can be accessible to as many as possible including the teenagers who want to come along. Concrete suggestions:

• Location: Wakefield pub (on Wakefield street) - the shiniest (least dingy) pub near the centre
• Time: Saturday 18th at 11am

I think if we come up with a concrete day and time via a vote first we can fix the venue second. Donama (talk) 23:00, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

Saturday 18th at 11am at the Wakefield pub is OK for me. Cheers, Bahudhara (talk) 03:51, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

All works well for me, too. - Bilby (talk) 04:15, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi folks, just a quick reminder about the meetup on Saturday. Cheers, Bahudhara (talk) 09:42, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

Sorry I can't make it. Completely forgot about it and have other stuff on. Donama (talk) 11:28, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

Summary

Unfortunately the planning for this meetup hadn't worked out well - the venue we'd chosen hadn't yet opened for the day, and only Bilby and his partner, and I turned up - but it did enable us to exchange views and catch up on our progress in trying to interest our cultural institutions in GLAM-Wiki projects.
