Chicago Wikipedia December Meetup 2024

edit

Hi everyone! At our last meetup people expressed interest in having a similar casual meetup bi-monthly. Here's that!

Our so-called venue

Location: The Bourgeois Pig

Time: 11AM. I will try to arrive a little early to secure seating, and I'll have to leave before 4:30. However, the cafe is open until 12AM, so feel free to party all night.

Date: Saturday, December 14, 2024

About: This will be a casual meetup to chat, edit, and meet your fellow Wikipedians.

Bring: A laptop.

Transit info: The Pig is located a 5-minute walk from the Fullerton Red/Brown line stop, as well as the 8 and 74 buses. There is both metered parking and free parking in the area, but note that finding parking might be tricky since this is a peak time.

Keep an eye on this page for updates!


I'm sitting near the drink pickup area/front window wearing the navy blue dress and white shrug. Don't see anyone here yet so I haven't found a larger table but come by if you're here and we can look for one Luiysia (talk) 17:34, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Here! Grey jacket and black backpack, picking up some coffee and food first, can stay for an hour and a half :) Myoglobin (talk) 17:56, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks to everyone for the great conversation and to Luiysia for organizing it. Mtminchi08 (talk) 20:58, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks again!!!
Think someone mentioned a Wikipedia discord server; is there one?
Also @Luiysia you might also know some other members of the Chicago Mechanical Keyboard group; since keyboards are the most common text input used for editing I might try to set up some Wikipedia presence at future keyboard meetups (next one is at the Design Museum on Jan 18th starting at 1PM) Myoglobin (talk) 17:12, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Myoglobin: Information on the server is at WP:DISCORD. I'm Nick Number there as well. Nick Number (talk) 18:36, 15 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
