[edit] Agenda
Informal chitchat with no set agenda. We usually have some experienced users and some laptops around so if you want a ten minute lesson in creating tables doing history merges or you just have a question on copyright this is a good venue (but please don't start discussions on copyright until enough people have arrived for a non-copyright conversation to run in parallel).
If you have some ideas for discussion topics, please put them below.
- Today is Wikipedia's 11th birthday!
- Wikimania 2013 and the proposed UK bids: London vs. Bristol. CT Cooper · talk 20:43, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
- Note that several interested parties (including myself) are going to be in Bristol for the Girl Geeks event there, so we may not be able to have as full-a-discussion a we might like. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 20:33, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
[edit] About the meet up
A social gathering for Wikimedia enthusiasts. Where we...
- Drink coffee and or beer and some of us have Sunday lunch.
- Chat about Wikipedia and any other topics we fancy.
Mainly a casual social event. You can expect to meet some very keen Wikipedians, however this is also an open invite for anyone interested in finding out more about Wikipedia, other Wikimedia projects, projects re-using Wikipedia, and other collaborative wiki projects. Also wiki technology, MediaWiki, or discussing the business impact of mass collaboration. Feel free to come along and raise these discussions over a beer.
The pub is quite quiet and family friendly on a Sunday lunchtime, so hopefully younger Wikimedians will also feel welcome and safe.
Alcohol consumption is certainly not required!
[edit] Location: Penderel's Oak
The Penderel's Oak is a Wetherspoons pub in Holborn.
Address: 283-288 High Holborn, London, WC1V 7HP (OSM) (GMap)
It's easy to find us - we're usually the crowd with several laptops on the large tables straight ahead of you when you enter the pub. If not look for a laptop logged into Wikipedia, or with a Wikimedia logo on it, or just look for this chap.
[edit] Getting there
 |
Chancery Lane | 0.2 miles |

Farringdon | 0.5 miles |
The Penderel's Oak is between Holborn Tube station and Chancery Lane tube station. Farringdon tube station is not too far, nor is City Thameslink (0.6 miles).
The pub is just over a mile walk from St Pancras Train station.
Several bus routes also go directly to Holborn station; if travelling from Waterloo, it is quicker to travel by bus (1, 59, 68, 171, 188, 243 or 521) than tube. Routes 8, 25 and 242 stop outside the pub.
Visit the TfL Journey Planner for more information about your fastest route.
