== About Monday Meets ==
== PortlandWiki's Weekly Meetups ==
'''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!
=== Monday Meets ===
* 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.
:- For the most up-to-date details, sign-up for the [https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/portlandwiki PortlandWiki email list] or follow our [http://twitter.com/#!/portlandwiki Twitter feed].


== When? ==
=== WikiWednesday ===
Every Monday, 6:30-ish to whenever. It's casual.
* [[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]].


== Where? ==
=== Location ===
Currently we're alternating between the following two locations:
* [[The MEZZ]] is located on the mezzanine of [http://wholefoodsmarket.com/stores/pearl/ Whole Foods Market] in [[Portland]]'s [[Pearl District]].
* [[Backspace]], 115 NW 5th Ave, between NW Davis & NW Couch (the main room)
:- 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]].
* [[Blitz Pearl]], 110 NW 10th Ave., corner of NW 10th & Couch (the cafe upstairs, not the bar downstairs)
:- 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.
** [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.


== How? ==
== Why? ==
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!
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''?


== Upcoming Meets ==
You can also check out PortlandWiki's '''[[PortlandWiki:Weekly Wiki Workouts|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 [http://groups.google.com/group/pdxwiki Portland Wiki Wednesday mailing list].
