'''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 hang out with some 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? ==
== PortlandWiki's Weekly Meetups ==
Every Monday, 6:30-ish to whenever. It's casual.


== Where? ==
=== Monday Meets ===
Currently we're alternating between the following two locations:
* PortlandWiki Monday Meetups generally happen each Monday evening at <s>[[The MEZZ]]</s> coffee shop.
* [[Backspace]], 115 NW 5th Ave, between NW Davis & NW Couch (the main room)
:- '''Time:''' About 7:00-ish -to- 9:30 p.m. or so. It's casual.
* [[Blitz Pearl]], 110 NW 10th Ave., corner of NW 10th & Couch (the cafe upstairs, not the bar downstairs)

[http://dorkbotpdx.org/ 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.
=== WikiWednesday ===
* [[WikiWednesday|Wednesday Meetups]] also generally happen at <s>[[The MEZZ]]</s> coffee shop.
:- '''Time:''' About 7:00-ish -to- 9:30 p.m. or so. It's casual.
:- For the most up-to-date details, sign-up for the [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/pdxwiki WikiWednesday email list] or follow our [http://twitter.com/#!/pdxwikiwed Twitter feed].
:- Please see PortlandWiki's [[WikiWednesday]] page for details on our [[WikiWednesday|Wednesday Meetups]].


== How? ==
=== Location ===
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!
* [[The MEZZ]] is located on the mezzanine of [http://wholefoodsmarket.com/stores/pearl/ Whole Foods Market] in [[Portland]]'s [[Pearl District]].
:- Entrance on northwest corner of [[NW 12th Avenue]] & [[West Burnside Street]], or through [http://wholefoodsmarket.com/stores/pearl/ the market] at [[NW 12th Avenue]] & [[NW Couch Street]].
:- Proceed to the back of the store and take the stairs or elevator to upstairs to the mezzanine, where the [[The MEZZ|coffee shop]] is located.
