== 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.<br />
<big>Please see PortlandWiki's [[WikiWednesday]] page for details on our [[WikiWednesday|Wednesday Meetups]].</big>
<big>Please see PortlandWiki's [[WikiWednesday]] page for details on our [[WikiWednesday|Wednesday Meetups]].</big>
== Where? ==
Currently we're alternating between the following two locations:
* Our [[PortlandWiki:Monday Meets|Monday Meetups]] happen at [[Powell's Technical Books]] (new location at [[NW 10th Avenue]] and [[NW Couch Street]]).
* Our [[WikiWednesday|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 [http://dorkbotpdx.org/ Dorkbot] Mondays because the Botting Dorks were a bit noisy. But hey! [[Blitz Pearl|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 Books|Powell's Technical Bookstore]] on Monday nights. Obviously we don't blame [[Blitz Pearl|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!

It's Questionable

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."
