Hi edit

Hi Brisbane Wikipedians, I've just moved to our beautiful city here. I look forward to a meetup at some stage. Cheers, Colin MacLaurin (talk) 03:05, 17 March 2010 (UTC)Reply


new meeting? edit

Hello all.

we've not had a meeting since '08- should we think of having another soon?

Any chance you are interested in going to Dogwood Crossing on June 20? ;-) John Vandenberg (chat) 09:33, 3 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

late June? edit

I will be up in Brisbane for the weekend of 25-26 June. (Three weeks away) Do we want to organise a meetup? John Vandenberg (chat) 02:01, 5 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

I am somewhat interested. I expect to be occupied already on Saturday though. Colin MacLaurin (talk) 04:47, 5 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
Yes, count me in. Lankiveil (speak to me) 07:15, 5 June 2011 (UTC).Reply

How does The Ship Inn @ Southbank sound? Menu here. It's a bit pricier than it used to be when I lived in a dive on Vulture Street. ;-( Any other suggestions? --John Vandenberg (chat) 15:49, 17 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

Happy with the Ship Inn, maybe also the Plough Inn if we're going to do South Bank, although it can get pretty busy on a Saturaday. Lankiveil (speak to me) 06:41, 18 June 2011 (UTC).Reply

We've decided to have a BBQ. Meat and drinks will be provided. Bring a salad or something similar if you can. John Vandenberg (chat) 22:25, 22 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

I expect to be there. Colin MacLaurin (talk) 13:47, 23 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
I've had a late night! Not sure how I'll go, but have a great catchup either way. Colin MacLaurin (talk) 18:11, 25 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
How did the meet end up going? I wanted to come, but was up past 4am the night before, and needed some sleep. Colin MacLaurin (talk) 06:36, 30 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

What to bring, for 26 June 2011 edit

The extent of my salad creation abilities is limited to a trip to Woolworths. I could pick up Coleslaw, Pasta salad or Potato salad - they come in 350g or 800g containers. I guess it depends on what other people bring. Cheers --Commander Keane (talk) 04:23, 25 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

I've just bought a big load of sausages, and I'll pop into the supermarket and buy some paper plates and cutlery tomorrow morning. Lankiveil (speak to me) 07:00, 25 June 2011 (UTC).Reply

I've got a case of beer, a tossed greek salad, & six rolls. John Vandenberg 07:28, 25 June 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 101.169.2.210 (talk) Reply

I guess I'll drop into the shops and get some soft drinks and cups tomorrow morning. - Zero1328 Talk? 09:57, 25 June 2011 (UTC)Reply


Question about attending meetups edit

Hey, do I have to be 18+ to attend? (I'm 17) Also am I allowed to just put my name down or do I have to be formally invited? TravellerQLD (talk) 13:50, 20 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Meetings in 2015 or 2016? edit

I am working on the WikiProject Sanitation and will be in Brisbane from Oct. 2015 until Aug. 2016. Am trying to see if QLD universities could use Wikipedia more for teaching on WASH topics, and would be keen to meet active Wikipedians in Brisbane. Looks like there hasn't been a meeting for a while though - anyone still active? EvM-Susana (talk) 12:27, 23 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

I am active but not exactly on sanitation, although I think I have contributed on some historic drains. Kerry (talk) 22:58, 23 July 2015 (UTC)Reply
I'm a very early but largely inactive wikipedian, but active and interested enough that I have Meetup/Brisbane on my watchlist. If something got organised, I'd try and make it :) --.../NemoThorx (talkContributions) 00:08, 24 July 2015 (UTC)Reply
