San Francisco Meetup 3

Thank you for attending San Francisco 3! It was a lot of fun. Now: go to San Francisco 4 and help pick a date for our November meetup...

San Francisco 2 was a big success. Now it's time to plan San Francisco 3!

Date, time and location

Discussion moved to talk page

Sunday, September 16 2007
3:00pm
Yerba Buena Gardens - let's meet at the Zeum Cafe (http://www.zeum.org/visitor/zeumCafe.html) on the south side (by the Carousel), see map here. After meeting we can then decide where to go on the property. This is probably our last chance for a nice outdoor meetup this season :)

~~:*OK. If Jimbo isn't there (I'm bringing my camera if I do go) I will be disappointed. =(~~ BrokenSphere^{Msg me} 02:34, 15 September 2007 (UTC) Scratch me, I can't go.[reply]

Agenda

Not that we need one to have a good time. But some possible things we could talk about include:

Wikimania reports -- several of us went to Taipei & can report back
Future SF meetups -- can we plan for a regular meetup for the future? (so we don't have to discuss date etc. so much :) )

Attendees

Are you interested in attending? Do you want your talk page spammed when we pick a date and time? If you'd rather be sent an email, send a note to phoebe.

Eugene Eric Kim -- Bummed that I missed the last one. I'm out of town August 25, but early September should work.
Giovanni33 I would have attended, if only I had known. (sniff, sniff...).Giovanni33 06:16, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Chris Messina -- I'm interested in coming! Beware of BarCampEarth around mid-August and Burning Man in early September!
Delirium -- ~~I might be out of town Sept 8 (will know soonish), and am otherwise generally around.~~ Any of those days is fine with me.
George William Herbert -- I'm firming my schedule for that time range up. Email and talk page spams both ok. Georgewilliamherbert 20:14, 16 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Liz Henry -- I could do August 25 or the 8th if it is afternoon not evening. Lizzard 02:21, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Jennifer Brooks -- ~~I'm interested in this event, don't know my schedule but it tends not to book up, and prefer email. I'll drop a line to Phoebe.~~ Ahh, phooey. An un-skippable birthday party turned up and I'll have to miss this after all. I hope it's a great success!
User:William_Pietri -- It was great to meet everybody, and I look forward to the next one. I'll probably be in London the first week of September, ~~but aim to be back for the weekend~~. William Pietri 01:20, 9 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reports

Add your reports & photos!

Many people came and there were lots of new faces. We met at Zeum, where there was a decent amount of room if a bit noisy, since it was outside. Then we adjourned to the Thirsty Bear for drinks and food... having a quick meeting then going drinking seems like a pretty good setup :) Phoebe and Delirium gave a report back on Wikimania '07; Phoebe announced the upcoming Recent Changes Camp and Liz Henry described how an unconference works; and we briefly discussed dates for future meetups: mid-November and the end of January seem like promising dates for the next two meetups (see SF 4 for planning details.) About every 6 weeks for a meetup seemed agreeable to folks. It was a good time, and lovely weather :) -- phoebe/(talk) 16:54, 21 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
