{{meetup}}

The fourth Sydney meetup took place on Monday 28 January, 2008. About 12 Wikipedians and guests from the [http://www.dictionaryofsydney.org/ Dictionary of Sydney Project] met at the [http://www.qvb.com.au/IPOH/QVB/me.get?site.sectionshow&PAGE302 QVB Jet cafe]. We went for drinks at ... and then for dinner at a Japanese restaurant where we had eggs, both raw and cooked, thrown at us!

Attending

:This is a list of people who signed up

  1. Angela.
  2. Tim Starling
  3. Witty Lama, with:
  4. Emma Grahame the Editorial Coordinator of the Dictionary of Sydney.
  5. User:Ta bu shi da yu (even though I have retired, I always find wikimeetups fun and Sydney Wikipedians are great!)
  6. -- Anonymous DissidentTalk - please, can we possibly chose the cafe in advance? I'll probably catch up with everyone at the cafe, if we could possibly kind of allocate one...? Is that possible? -- Anonymous DissidentTalk 15:47, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
  7. Ianblair23 -- I attended the first two meetups but I was unable to attend the last meetup on ANZAC Day with Jimbo which was really dissappointing. So I am not going to miss this one. The 28th is the Australia Day public hoilday so we should be able to get a good number of us together. Also I note above that some pretty prominent Wikipedians will be in attendance including the infamous Witty Lama from the Wikipedia Weekly podcasts. Can't wait!

Apologies

  • I would love to attend but I'm out of the country between 27th January and 6th February. Maybe meet again in February? enochlau (talk) 08:44, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Will be away for that part of Jan, but would love to attend the next one --Mikecraig (talk) 22:15, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
  • I will be interstate for that week, but if we could maybe reschedule for sometime in February, then I will definitely be there. -- All the best, Nickj (t) 22:33, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Agenda

:This is a social gathering, so there's no formal agenda, but you're welcome to add suggested discussion topics here

And here are some ice-breaker ideas for chit chat; feel free to add anything you've always wanted to ask a fellow wikipedian....

  • Where are we heading? Speculations and guesstimates about the wikipedia of the future
  • What's the single most positive change you'd make if you ran the wiki world?
  • Who's the best wikipedian ever?
