Discussion edit
- The date and time are solid. I'd like people to hang out, and maybe show Wikipedia to kids, work on local Wikipedia pages, etc. We have a lecture hall with wi-fi, one City laptop and a projector, AND/OR a lab with 10 desktops and a projector. I'd like to know what suits you best. There is metered parking at the library until 6 PM, a pay lot next door, and free street parking about a block away. We are a few blocks from the 405, near LAX, at Manchester and La Brea (parking lot entrance is behind the library off Queen St.) Joel J. Rane (talk) 17:58, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

I might be there edit
- I'd like to be there, but I get off of work at the West Hollywood Library at 7:15pm. The only way I would be able to make it is if the meetup continues after 8. --Olegkagan (talk) 18:28, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
- Alas! We close at 8PM. Joel J. Rane (talk) 19:12, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
- There are plenty of decent restaurants, including a Sizzler, a well-known Belizean place, a Malaysian place, a Mexican bar/buffet etc. Joel J. Rane (talk) 22:30, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
- Hmmm. Sizzler's closes at 9PM, so that's no good for after a meeting that lasts until 8PM.
I won't be there, but please keep me informed of future events! edit
- Something came up at work today, and I need to stay late. :( --Cameron Seebach
- Hi, new to Wikimedia CA but eager to meet up & get better informed! Will there be a mtg #6 in Jan or Feb 2012? Hope so! Cynthisa (talk) 04:25, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
