Adelaide Meetup is a periodic gathering of Wikipedians and other Wikimedians from Adelaide and surrounding areas to discuss their experiences with the project and foster collegiality between local editors. It is organised by participants of WikiProject Adelaide. The inaugural meeting was held on 21 August 2006, and the list below provides a list of past events and a summary of their outcomes.

In 2014 a series of monthly meetings were held, with guest speakers invited to present their views on how Wikipedia articles on South Australian topics could be improved. One edit-a-thon was held, but due to low attendance, meetings since that time have been held at irregular intervals.

(For a list of future Adelaide Meetups, see Wikipedia:Meetup/Adelaide/Future meetings. This page includes a section: A "how to" guide for setting up a Meeting.)

Meetup 1 - 21 August 2006

[edit]
There were computers so we did a tiny bit of editing!

The inaugural Adelaide Meetup was held at the Brougham Place Uniting ChurchinNorth Adelaide on the 21 August 2006. The attendees were Alex Sims, Paul Foord, Peripitus, Auswide.

Topics discussed:

Meetup 2 - 23 April 2007

[edit]

The second Adelaide Meetup was held at Zuma Caffe in the Adelaide Central Marketon23 April 2007. The attendees included Wikipedia-founder Jimmy Wales and Adelaidean editors Adrian J. Hunter, Alex Sims, Auswide, Blnguyen, CJ, Daniel, Derek Munneke, Janet Hawtin, Michael, Paul Foord, Peripitus, Riana, James Williams, Pru Mitchell, Michael Patkin, Paul Foord ...(list incomplete).

Topics discussed:

Meetup 3 - 16 February 2008

[edit]
'Mostly' everyone quickly giving a smile for the camera.

The third Adelaide Meetup was held at Billy Baxter's in Citi Cross Arcade in Rundle Mallon16 February 2008. The users that attended the meeting were James, Janet, Mark, Peripitus, Riana, Scott, and {Placeholder}.

Things discussed: (in no particular order)

? - 20 April 2008

[edit]

Meetup 4 - 15 January 2011 - WP10

[edit]
Everyone quickly giving a smile for one of the many cameras present

The fourth Adelaide Meetup was held at Scoozi in Rundle Streeton15 January 2011. The users that attended the meeting were Alex Sims, Bilby, Adrian J. Hunter, Pru Mitchell, Bahudhara, PDethBW and Pingku.

Things discussed: (in no particular order)

Meetup 5 - 12 June 2011

[edit]

AsLiam Wyatt was in Adelaide for a short time, we thought it would be nice to see if we could run a short-notice meetup, as it should be fun. Thus we're meeting at 6pm, Sunday 12 June 2011 at Bruneli's on Rundle Street (down the Rundle Mall end, just past the entrance to the big car park that has Hungry Jacks under it). There are some suggestions of beer afterwards, which would be a good thing.

Meetup 6 - 18 February 2012

[edit]

The first proposed date for Meetup #6 in November 2011 attracted no interest, so February 2012 was chosen instead. Very few editors attended, possibly because 11 am on Saturday is not a very convenient time.

Meetup 7 - 22 November 2012 / 27 January 2013

[edit]

The Meetup was originally scheduled for 22 November 2012, but this turned out to be another poorly attended event. It seems that holding impromptu meetings at short notice is not likely to attract many editors.

Despite this the Meetup was rescheduled for 27 January 2013, and this time the event attracted more participants, established editors with a broad spectrum of common interests. Bahudhara (talk) 05:38, 4 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

ArtAndFeminism 2014

Meetup 8 - 16 April 2014

Discussion on how to improve articles on Aboriginal Australian topics, looking initially in relation to the Adelaide area. As we realised that there is so much that is needed to be done, we decided to start on the Tjilbruke article first and to try to develop it to FA status. We also discussed how best to get guidance from experts, and how to incorporate this into WP article development.

Edit-a-thon 1 - 6 July 2014
