Planning stage
[edit]Suggestions & questions
[edit]- I wonder if this is odd to you, I'm guy from Hong Kong, somewhere in Asia. I'll be in Bay Area in August on my way to Argentina. I will spent two weekends in San Francisco, so I wonder if I can meet you guys in Bay Areas on one night of the weekends, either 15, 16 or 22, 23 of August. Sounds possible for you? (Personally Prefer 22nd :p) --JéRRy.雨雨.talk.hk 18:16, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
- & I've no idea where shall we meet, so please feel free to suggest! --JéRRy.雨雨.talk.hk 18:18, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
- I have yet to attend a Bay Area Wiki meetup, but I'm interested. Any of the days suggested work for me. Peter G Werner (talk) 02:08, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
- August 22,23 are good for me; I'm still out of state August 15,16. --Rosiestep (talk) 18:33, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
Isn't it quite sudden to have a meetup within a month from the date this page was actually created? I'm not sure how many people will be attending due to how soon the proposed date is. Just throwing that out there. Killiondude (talk) 18:42, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
- We have to have it this weekend b/c of our visitor Jeromy's schedule (and the Wikimania schedule). If you can make it, great! If you can't, next time. -- phoebe / (talk to me) 15:27, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
- This was also discussed a bit on the Wikimedia-SF mailing list, are you subscribed? You'd probably find it interesting and relevant. :-) Cbrown1023 talk 15:43, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
The 18th Annual Linux Picnic is Saturday, August 15, noon-4pm. RSVP for a free lunch. 99.38.151.228 (talk) 15:40, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
Todays Notes
[edit]I spent some time playing "secretary", writing down the parts of the days conversations and ideas. They're not very well formed or with much logic, so bear with. --ShakataGaNai ^_^ 03:15, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
- Need a strategy for getting high quality pictures of famous people
- Talk to publicists, just need one CC-BY picture
- Explain to them that they don't lose license, they "win" by having better pics.
- If really concerned, get lower res.
- WP stops getting bad rap for having "shitty" pictures
- Lets turn some meetups into "Wiki takes X". Translation: Fieldtrip
- Should see about bringing giant WP/WMF logo poster
- USS Hornet
- Pellinger Library (SP)
- Alcatraz
- Internet Archive
- Picnic in the park (any park)
- Mt Diablo (picnic/hike)
- Bikeing
- Scavager hunt (In the style of the NYC group)
- "WikiConference Bay" - Regional meetup (like rcc)
- Notes moved to new page
- We need Wiki-Biker jackets
- Earning money by setting up a system to easily order prints of Commons photos
- Wikinews ID card printer
- Commons - anonymous user DR'ing many Greek photos.

[edit]Photos
[edit]Okay, photos are there,
if you wanna enjoy high quality stuff, go to my FlickR.
if low quality is enough for your appetite, and help me to tag who is who, (probably you may have some fun with it), go to facebook. --JéRRy.雨雨.talk.hk 17:12, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
