On Tuesday 25 October from 7-9 Kat and I hosted a Seattle Wikipedia meetup for the “Wikipedia loves libraries!” program. The intent of the meetup was to promote local libraries, and Wikipedia had encouraged all users around the country to do the same thing in their own regions.
I was fresh from Infocamp was was great this year and I advertised online about this. Seven people including Kat and I attended and that was plenty to keep a good conversation.
We did not actually get much done with regards to promoting libraries because most of the attendees were new to Wikipedia. I was the most active user. There was a lot of interest and I think that all this energy and enthusiasm can perpetuate itself, so I am going to start a monthly Seattle Wikipedians meetup. We did this at Allegro Cafe and since I love that place that is where I am going to start arranging it.
