For what it's worth, there are dozens of places we could hang out in downtown SF near the
Embarcadero/Market St. It's hard to drive there, but trivial to BART it (and easy to drive to BART and ride in...). I've worked at a bunch of places in the area and can recommend more specific places for food,

a total dive. :-) But I had a good time and hope to make it out there for another sometime; I don't really need too much of an excuse to want to go to SF. (I think Tampa 1 beats this for out-of-town visitors, but that was around an actual board/officers meeting and so hardly counts!) Pictures coming

is in town regularly. We also talked about the upcoming
Wikimania conference quite a bit, agreed that San Francisco would be a lovely and hospitable city for a future conference (though no one volunteered right away to organize -- we'll have to work on that! ;) and also talked about the upcoming
742:—new feature/hack. Unfortunately it wasn't ready in time for this meetup, but for meetups in the future... It's really hard to let people know about geography-specific events without getting a lot of people who won't be interested and missing a lot who would, and this should help.

Despite the large number of
Wikipedians in this region, there hasn't been a single publicized meetup. There was an open meeting for Wikia Campaigns last summer which was well attended, considering publicity was limited to Wikia. It's ripe time for a large meetup.

If
Citizen Space can't host us, I can likely scare something else up depending on number. I'm fiendishly busy right now, so if somebody could wrangle consensus on number of attendees and desired facilities and email me the results, that'd be great. Thanks,

at roughly the appointed time and crammed around a big table and shared cookies from Peet's -- thanks, William. We introduced ourselves and talked about how amazing it is that there haven't been regular meetups before this, especially considering that

Short notice, but if I can make it, I'll try to be there. I'm in the East Bay, for about a month, and have pretty easy access to BART and freeways, as needed. Sounds like we favor meeting up in San
Francisco; anybody have a particular place in mind? –

Caltrain to the last stop (4th and King in SF), then SF MUNI T or N lines from 4th and King to either Folsom (and walk a couple of blocks up the
Embarcadero along the bay) or Embarcadero station (and walk a block from slightly inland out to the bay).
385:
I'll be in the Bay Area July 11-15; Saturday July 14 would work best for me. I won't rent a car unless absolutely necessary, so any location that is reachable via train & bus would be preferable. I'll be staying in San
728:
How are other editors in the San
Francisco area supposed to know about events such as this one? If I knew, I'd probably have attended. I take it this is not an invite only type of event so some kind of public notice seems

to everyone for showing up, especially on short notice! (And thanks especially to Erik and Kat for possibly giving us some kind of long-distance visitors record). It was a fun time. Now, post your pictures! --

We sat outside, which was good for watching the tourists and enjoying the sun, but towards evening it clouded over and got cold. A slightly reduced party of us marched off to Market Street in search of

Query to clarify - Howard

I live pretty much right across the bay from San Mateo, in
