Sure, I'd be interested. I'm also going to take this opportuntity to point you to the newly created WikiProject Pittsburgh. Happy Labor Day! --Chris Griswold  (☎☓) 22:59, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

text: Definitely. I'd have to know in advance, however, because my schedule, while not overly full, is a bit strange. RyanGerbil10(Kick 'em in the dishpan!) 02:19, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Interested participants

message: I would definitely be interested. I live in the North Hills. Maybe we could advertise this in craigslist or something similar, since there are lots of Wikipedians who don't put their locations online. My advice is once we get five interested people or so, just go ahead and have the first wikimeet -- don't necessarily wait until we've got a crowd. Lou Sander 13:45, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: We could also try Meetup.com - there is a Wikipedia section there at . There hasn't been a Pittsburgh group established yet, but anyone could do so (I have yet to figure out how much I will get billed, so I haven't done that yet). Scobell302 17:40, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: If there are costs, I could help with them. Lou Sander 17:50, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

text: I propose we find a few more people, then meet and take up a collection. I could be generous at that point. I just started the signup process at meetup.com. One other person is waiting for a Pittsburgh Wikipedia meetup. Do you happen to know him? Lou Sander 18:47, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That's me (Yes, I have edited under other usernames; I just choose not to disclose them unless required by law). Scobell302 19:38, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: I don't know...but I was signed up for New York meetups on Meetup.com until I started college. In any case, if you want to put a link to this page on WikiProject Pittsburgh, go right ahead and do so. Scobell302 18:48, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

text: Hey, invite these people as you invited me. (I notice that at least one of them lives in Missouri, though he has Pittsburgh roots.) Lou Sander 00:35, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

text: I'm semi-retired and live in the North Hills, so I'm probably the most flexible person. I teach a class downtown on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, though. Lou Sander 02:04, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I am a first-year student at Carnegie Mellon University's Tepper School of Business and my course schedule is here. I prefer to meet on a Saturday, since that seems to be the day on which I feel the least academic pressure. If I were to propose a specific calendar date, I'd probably say October 21, since that falls in the middle of my 3-day mid-semester break (and would therefore mean very little work to be done), and one person above says that he won't be available until October. Scobell302 02:54, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

text: Another thing: when there is an extended college break (Thanksgiving, Christmas/New Year, Spring Break, Summer Break), I will most likely return to my New York home. Scobell302 03:03, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

text: As for the location, I think we should probably meet at a restaurant, preferably Downtown, Station Square, Waterfront, or a similar location. Scobell302 18:48, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Time & Location of first meetup

message: Hi Neighbors,
I'm going to organize meetings on Thursday nights at a South Side Elementary School in a computer lab from 8 to 9:30 pm. You all could walk to another venue after to enjoy some beverages. This will be part of an effort called, CLOH.org and one meaning is "Come Live Over Here." It could give a boost to the Platform.For-Pgh.org/wiki  too.

message: What about a group of Wikipedians from Pittsburgh going to one of many museums or neighbourhoods and taking photos of notable buildings (or other stuff) to expand the :commons:Category:Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania?

I believe that weekend (Sat or Sunday) and the same location would work, the whether should still be good enough. Also, if you haven't, please consider adding your name to Wikipedia:WikiProject Pittsburgh members and watchlisting that page, it seems like the best suitied one to transform our real life gatherings into on wiki cooperation. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk  17:17, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

message: Looks like it is about that time again. I just got Pinged that Sunday July 6 is the national day. I have an afternoon commitment on Saturday July 5, but could do a lunch that day.  Anyone have any thoughts on getting together? JeepdaySock (AKA, Jeepday) 18:09, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I just put up a link on the national Wiknic page to this talk page section, saying "under discussion".  It would be great if you could update the front side of this page whenever there are preliminary details to date and location.--Pharos (talk) 19:24, 8 June 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I would certainly be interested in attending. I've been to two of these so far, and they are well worth the effort to attend. I like the place we went before, by the carousel across from Hillman Library. Lou Sander (talk) 20:50, 8 June 2014 (UTC)
replies: text:  We have had a major to us event in our family. I can't commit to being able to organize or attend. These events are fun, I would encourage anyone feeling the slightest motivation to organize, do so.  Jeepday (talk) 10:45, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm up for Satuday at lunchtime, or Sunday. This'll be my last to chance to see you folks for a Pittsburgh meetup, as I'm moving to Seattle at the end of July.--ragesoss (talk) 13:38, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Time to update the front side with provisional date and location, then?--Pharos (talk) 04:24, 12 June 2014 (UTC)

text: Alas, I'll miss the chance as my only visit to Pittsburgh before late summer will be June 22-23. Jim.henderson (talk) 19:55, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I will be in Pittsburgh around this time (going home and visiting family), and I would definitely love to meet up with some local Wikipedians from the city where I found Wikipedia! :D --Sky Harbor (talk) 04:03, 24 June 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Alright. Looks like there's no perfect time for everyone, but let's go with early on Saturday since that works for JeepDay. Say... 11 am on Saturday, July 5, with lunch at noon. As usual, we'll meet under the tent in Schenley Park in front of the Cathedral of Learning. (It's right next to Conflict Kitchen, which is a neat place to get lunch from.)--ragesoss (talk) 18:49, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

message: Hello! I'm not sure how active this community is at present, but I wanted to see if any local Wikipedians would be interested in participating in an upcoming Wikipedia Edit-a-thon being organized by Women+ in Design PGH. 
If you are interested in participating or potentially helping guide volunteers at the event, please email us at womenindesignpgh@gmail.com. We appreciate any advice or tips you may be able to offer.
Here's a little more information about the event (which you can also find at our website): 
Please join Women+ in Design Pittsburgh as we welcome Despina Stratigakos, author of "Where Are the Women Architects?," and Lori Brown, founder of ArchiteXX, a group dedicated to transforming the architecture profession for women, to Pittsburgh. 
In partnership with students and faculty at the University of Pittsburgh, we will be adding and expanding entries for women designers across industries including architecture, landscape architecture, interior design, graphic design, and engineering to the online resource.   
No prior Wikipedia editing experience is necessary, lists of female designers will be provided, and additional entry ideas are welcome. Computers will be available, but you may bring your own laptop. Tutorials for beginner Wikipedians will begin at 10 am, and you are free to come and go as you wish throughout the event. Breakfast will be provided.  
People of all genders and professions are encouraged to attend as we increase the visibility and representation of women designers.  
This event is supported in part by funding from Pitt Creates Year of Creativity.
