OMG!! Breaking News!!!

New meetup days and venues are currently up for grabs. Please see PortlandWiki's Weekly Wiki Workouts page for details.

About Monday Meets

Monday Meets are weekly PortlandWiki "edit parties" that 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 Monday Meets don't work for your schedule, start your own PortlandWiki meet up and choose any day you like. Feel free to post your PortlandWiki meet ups here or start a new page about them!

When?

Every Monday, 6:30-ish to whenever. It's casual.

Where?

Currently we're alternating between the following two locations:

  • Backspace, 115 NW 5th Ave, between NW Davis & NW Couch (the main room)
  • Blitz Pearl, 110 NW 10th Ave., corner of NW 10th & Couch (the cafe upstairs, not the bar downstairs)
    • Dorkbot meets every other Monday at Backspace at the same time as us, making it crowded and noisy, so we meet at Blitz Pearl on those weeks.

How?

This is a concern at Backspace, where 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... but 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 Meets

Wiki admins (left to right) Kotra, Mark and Ward wrangle wild wikis at Backspace Cafe.

Of course, you don't need to hang out with a bunch of Portland wiki geeks at Monday Meets 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?
