Wikipedians in Melbourne have held four previous meetups. The fifth is now being planned as a breakfast meeting with Jimbo Wales in the city (at a venue to be arranged) on Friday, 27 April 2007.

Jimbo has proposed breakfast as the one real window of opportunity during his tightly scheduled stay in Melbourne. Tbe precise time has to be sorted out with Jimbo, but the arrangements for the equivalent Adelaide meetup a few days before may give an idea.

Likely attendance

Please sign here and give some indication of how likely you are to be able to turn up.

Definite: I am there!

1. Yup, I'm committing myself to it. Metamagician3000 05:41, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
2. First meeting I can attend, no excuses. Grumpyyoungman01 07:30, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
3. If it finishes by 9 (ie starts by 8, I guess), I'll be there. Even if it doesn't, I'll probably still be there. :D --pfctdayelise (talk) 07:34, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

   I've asked Jimbo what block of time suits him, but it's from 7.30 until 9 in Adelaide, I see. Metamagician3000 07:38, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

4. I don't even know if I'm free, but I'll still be there, for sure. --Michael Billington (talk) 07:39, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
5. FNMF 07:52, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Apologies: I wish I could

1. Evan C (Talk) 07:49, 29 March 2007 (UTC) I really wish I could, but I have school then.

Is there anything else we'll need to do, apart from sorting out a venue?

I'll try to work out a venue after consulting with Jimbo on where in the city he will be for his conference. I'll also try to remember to bring a camera - I'm sure I won't be the only one. Hmmmm, what else? Would name tags be useful? I suppose it might depend on how many of us there are. Is anyone any good at making them if we decide we want them?
