PortlandWiki: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. You can stay for as long as you want, work on anything you want (or just shoot the breeze), and wear anything you want (though the venues will probably frown on complete nudity). All you need is a laptop (or nothing if you just want to hang out and chat).
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!
