Further info
- For those who havent been to a meetup before, or not for a long time and have forgotten faces, some form of clear identification will be made - like a wikipedia t-shirt, or sign - will be near the entrance - on the day just before the time, so as to allay any issue of who are they or where are they sats 05:51, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
- FYI – I didn't have any problems finding the venue (it was the Brass Monkey), I just didn't know what Wikipedia editors looked like, and there were no t-shirts, signs, etc, that I could see. Bahnfrend (talk) 08:10, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
- from memory there wasn't that many of us there that time & none of us had tshirts that time. So I can understand you not realising which group of reprobates drinking at the bar we were.Dan arndt (talk) 05:32, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
- that wasn't the only issue – I was also reluctant to risk being thrown out of the Brass Monkey by the bouncers for walking up to every table and asking the occupants whether they were a group of nerds who like sitting in front of a computer screen, often very late at night, typing in stuff about obscure topics of interest mainly only to other nerds(!)

- hahaha - funny that - the 10th anniversary at freo meetup was joined by a very social bunch of reddit people - that was where we had more t-shirts than could be wikipedians... sats 08:50, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

- If I recall correctly, the State Library is rather a large place - a slightly more precise location might be useful. It also might be useful let the "librarian" know so that if someone were to ask at the enquiry desk, for example, they'd know. When I asked the people behind the counter at Little Creatures they had no idea what I was talking about. Mitch Ames (talk) 11:51, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
