Latest Breaking News
PortlandWiki admins, contributors, sympathizers and other fellow travelers currently meet twice a week at the following venues:
Please see PortlandWiki's WikiWednesday page for details on our Wednesday Meetups.
You can also check out PortlandWiki's Weekly Wiki Workouts for other meetup ideas and start your own daily, weekly, monthly or yearly PortlandWiki meetup. For the most up-to-date details, check the Portland Wiki Wednesday mailing list.
About PortlandWiki's Weekly Meetups
PortlandWiki's weekly "edit parties" are free, open to everyone, and casual. They're a great chance to meet the diverse group of people who edit PortlandWiki and experience the fun of collaborating in person on a wiki. There are always friendly wiki experts willing to lend a hand and answer questions. Participation is casual, you can pick a topic to write about if you want, or you can just chat with some wiki geeks over some food and drinks.
If PortlandWiki's current meetup days don't work for your schedule, start your own PortlandWiki meetup and choose any day you like. Feel free to post your PortlandWiki meetup schedule here or start a new page about them!
When?
Every Monday and Wednesday at about 6:30-ish to whenever. It's casual.
Please see PortlandWiki's WikiWednesday page for details on our Wednesday Meetups.
Where?
Currently we're alternating between the following two locations:
- Our Monday Meetups happen at Powell's Technical Books (new location at NW 10th Avenue and NW Couch Street).
- Our Wednesday Meetups happen at Backspace, 115 NW 5th Ave, between NW Davis & NW Couch (in the main room).
- Question: Hey, didn't you also meet some Mondays at Blitz Pearl?
- Answer: Yes. In fact we met at Blitz Pearl on Backspace's Dorkbot Mondays because the Botting Dorks were a bit noisy. But hey! Blitz is a sports bar, and as they got busier and their sporty TVs blared more loudly and distractingly, we decided to opt for the quieter confines of Powell's Technical Bookstore on Monday nights. Obviously we don't blame Blitz; noisy TVs are an integral part of sports bar "fun."
How?
At Powell's Technical Bookstore just look for us at one of the little tables near the store's entrance.
At Backspace there are usually a heck of a lot of geeky-looking folks with laptops. For folks that don't recognize the "regulars," we don't yet have a great way for you to find us. For now, we usually are at the first table you get to when entering, or nearby. Just ask if we're here for PortlandWiki!
Upcoming Monday Meets
Of course, you don't need to hang out with a bunch of Portland wiki geeks to contribute to PortlandWiki. But if you do decide to come hang out with us (and we hope you do!), we'll do our best to help you get started. Plus, we're a fun bunch, can't you tell?
Please see PortlandWiki's WikiWednesday page for details on our Wednesday Meetups.
