'''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.
The below information is obsolete. See [[PortlandWiki:Current events]] for up-to-date information.


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!
== PortlandWiki's Weekly Meetups ==

=== Monday Meets ===
Every Monday, 6:30-ish to whenever. It's casual.
* PortlandWiki Monday Meetups generally happen each Monday evening at <s>[[The MEZZ]]</s> coffee shop.
:- '''Time:''' About 7:00-ish -to- 9:30 p.m. or so. It's casual.

== 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!
