replies: text: I'd rather it not be on a Wednesday, just because of my schedule; (I know, selfish)> Tuesday would work bettter for me, if a weeknight was neccesary. How about a weekend? СПУТНИКССС Р 13:02, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That's not selfish; that's practical. The goal is to find a day that's good for everyone, plus only several Tor. Wikipedians even know about this. Saturdays are bad for me. Are Tuesdays or Sundays better than Wednesdays for most people? --unforgettableid | talk to me 16:05, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

text: For me personally, Sunday evenings are ok. Would you be likely to come at that time? Do other people prefer one way or the other? Cheers, --unforgettableid | talk to me 05:36, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Is anyone willing to do the mass commenting, or to run a bot to do it? I would not be the first one to volunteer. :-) --unforgettableid | talk to me 20:05, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Or, does someone here use Windows and so could run the AutoWikiBrowser? I'm pretty sure it can mass-comment to all users who are members of . --unforgettableid | talk to me 06:27, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mass commenting: who? 

message: I think we should all sit down and drink and eat and what not. I propose a meetup at Future Bakery, on the corner of Brunswick and Bloor, on Wed. August 16, 2006 @ 7pm. Lets discuss it. joshbuddy, talk 15:03, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Huzzah!  --Arctic Gnome 22:46, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

text: Sounds good to me --Dhodges 05:27, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

text: Sorry. Sadly I can't attend nighttime Wikimeets, as I'm in Brampton, which doesn't have GO service past the afternoon, thus getting home would take at least three hours on two transit systems. However, if I could get the one press outlet to attend, would anyone attending object to that, on the condition they aren't intrusive or abrasive (aka they don't ruin the night)? I'd like to try to get City/Global/CFTO interested in doing a little piece on Wikipedia, with this as the example.  --  Zanimum 18:55, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I would advise against inviting the press to our first meetup; if we invited them some later time when we all knew each other we would look much more organized and professional.  --Arctic Gnome 00:14, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

text: I'm up in Richmond Hill, York Region, probably can't attend on weeknights without proper planning, need to coordinate the transit and subway systems and figure how close they are to this place. Will you be using this as a regular meetingplace? If it's going to shift a lot then I'll need to plan each over again. Anyway, it will have to be a future one, I totally forgot about this.  Tyciol 19:51, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

text: Thanks for organizing but I won't be able to attend this one.  Samw 03:15, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

text: Nice idea. I also agree with Arctic G on NOT inviting the press or media. Any public appearance shall be appealing and professional and the first casual gathering doesn't appear to be one. Is that bakery more or less like a cafe? I am not a fan of coffee. I.H.S.V. (talk) 02:53, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It is a bakery + cafe like qualities + hungarian food. I believe Wednesday night is all-you-can-eat pierogi night. Regrettably, I have to work that night, but I've thinking of trying this idea out monthly, so I'm sure I'll be there next time. joshbuddy, talk 03:01, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Great. Count me in. I.H.S.V. (talk) 19:45, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

text: Anyone else actually coming? I'll be there. (I often drop in for some cake and coffee anyway) -Dhodges 13:26, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'll try to make it. The Tuesday thing doesn't work for me (priors interfere) but Wed is good and Future is right around the corner from my place. 7 might be a little early if the weathers good (I'll be on the bike) but we'll see what happens. Maury 16:16, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: February 2011 Meet-Up

message: The executive of Wikimedia Canada is planning to have an in-person meeting, likely on Saturday, Oct. 1 in central Toronto. If we could meet with Toronto Wikipedians at the same time it will be really great. The difficulty is that Alan, the executive member from the area has unrelated commitments that make it impossible for him to organize any get together.  If there is some one in the area who could put something together that would be really great. Let me know on my talk page. Eclecticology (talk) 06:48, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
