Where and When?

Location: I think the National Library Cafe would make an appopriate place to sit and discuss reference and information :D (longer term: perhaps we could do the rounds of govt buildings in the parliamentary triangle?).

Time: Feb 7 lunch/afternoon sounds great to me. :) --.../Nemo (talk) 03:04, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

Invitations

the existing invitation can be updated, but as it is already included in many user: pages, there will be no user notification of changes to it? ...that is my understanding of the way it would work, is that right? Does that mean we need to create a new invite per event, or update the existing invite and then edit everyones user: pages to refresh the invite anyway? Or am I missing something in my mediawiki understanding? --.../Nemo (talk) 03:08, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

Well if you change the existing invite, it will change on user pages, but the chances are slim that people will notice, so it is better to post new messages to the talk pages. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 03:55, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

Yup, that's what I thought. I've noticed other meetup groups (well, melbourne and brisbane I've keyed from) update the same invite - so I've started on that, and will update user talk pages with the invite once we confirm time/place/etc :) --.../Nemo (talk) 04:50, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

You should have sent out something about this even if the date wasn't set. I was in Canberra on the 7th to the 10th (January) but I've used my savings. I'll see what I can do but can't promise anything. :( Bidgee (talk) 06:21, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
