Maybe of interest or inspiration might be the Melbourne-odd-wiki. Free software, free license, yes. Use it as you feel like, it's a wiki.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by MattisManzel (talk • contribs) 19:41, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

message: I think the meeting beforehand and dinner after format of the first few meetups worked well, unfortunately we didn't have a location for a separate meeting for the most recent meetup but with a little more time I'm sure we can find somewhere for the next one. As far as eating goes, may I suggest Spiga Bar at Melbourne Central; it has pizza that is said to be pretty good, by the slice or whole, along with a full menu, and apparently offers free wi-fi. They don't have a website but this appears to be their menu. --bainer (talk) 09:22, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Why not organise a point to meet up at beforehand? For example, if it's at Melbourne Central, why not meet up in front of the statue in front of the State Library? - AmishThrasher 11:05, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

text: Meeting IN a restaurant can be quite intimidating, especially if you're meeting people you've never seen or even talked to before. (You: "Hi, I'm here for the Wikipedia meet" - Front of House: *confused look*). Maybe Angela could rock up in her Wiki shirt...that would be a good beacon. But second the motion of meeting at a public location before moving off...makes the whole meet and greet easier. Excalibur2211 11:42, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

text: Free Wifi sounds interesting :) Yes I agree that a restaurant could be a little intimidating for some (I personally don't have an issue with it) Melbourne central sounds... noisy, for lack of a better adjective. How about a meeting in the afternoon, lunch for example at an outside location? Sfacets 01:47, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

text: I'm happy with these suggestions - meet outside Library, lunch or evening or a BBQ. I'm not happy about meeting on Saturday or Sunday evenings. These are family time for me. --Bduke 22:22, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Cool. Another meeting. I can make up for missing the last one. Rintrah 00:31, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

text: There is a great little bar (yes, I realise this inconveniences our younger editors) called 6Links  on Flinders lane, also has free Wifi :)  - but I suppose the downsides outweight the positives here, sigh. (Anyone have a big yard, a BBQ, and Wireless? :) Sfacets 01:16, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Why not somewhere outside, if the weather is forecasted to be good? Even though I spend far too much time on this, I still like to come outside sometimes. I would suggest the Botanical Gardens, or if it does that does not suit everyone, Federation Square. Rintrah 08:24, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

text: Again, maybe we should make it so students should be able to come. -- Punk Boi 8 08:43, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. Wikipedia is open to everyone, hence meetings should open to everyone - not just those over a certain age. I suggest a park with a barbeque, or an outdoor cafe. Parks Victoria has a list of parks with barbeques. Top of the list, Albert Park looks nice. JohnnoShadbolt 10:28, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I like the idea of an outdoor cafe. Federation Square, maybe? Rintrah 13:37, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

text: I prefer the idea of a park - Federation Square is way too busy and the cafes there are quite expensive, if we want to spend some time there... a BYO BBQ/outdoor meal seting sounds both isolated and cheap ;) Sfacets 02:42, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

text: Uh huh, but when? Rintrah 05:09, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm in Geelong from January 28 - 31 and would love to make it to a Melbourne Meetup. As I'll be travelling with my son and will be 7 hours from home (ie, no babysitters handy), a child-friendly place would be welcomed if I'm to attend. I like the idea of a park type BBQ setting. -- Longhair\talk 12:38, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

text: I suggested the Botanical Gardens. But for a meeting to happen, more than five people have to agree. Rintrah 04:57, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I second Botanical gardens, probably at the cafe.  I'll bring the soccer ball. -- Librarianofages 13:18, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The Botanical Gardens are fine except in naaasty weather. If it's ever necessary to meet at someone's place I'm willing to volunteer mine. It's in Albert Park (hence, central) and is big enough to cope with quite a few people. Metamagician3000 07:33, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I'll be down in Melbourne 21-23 July, but can also stay a few days either side.  I'd be nice to catch up with everyone again.  I'm available nights and the weekend. John Vandenberg (chat) 07:57, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

I didn't see the 2022 meetup. What do people think about the creation of a newsletter or mailing list?
