Please discuss here regarding the next WP:MEETUP in Florida.

Different meetup pages may be formed if more than a couple users want to converge at one area of Florida and other users decides by consensus that they want to meet up somewhere else. However, please first plan a proposed location first. Thanks.

Proposal 1: Saturday, March 15, 2008; 13:00:00 EST
Reason: Mid-march is right around/after Spring Break, so it does not hinder the schedules of the younger population. 1pm time will ensure people can get up in the morning and drive... Miami to Orlando should not take more than 3.5 hours, (I've done it on multiple occasions in 3). Jacksonville to Orlando should take much less than 3.5 hours. Gainesville to Orlando should take two hours. Tampa to Orlando should be about 1.5 hours. This should mean that the earliest people have to leave their houses should be about 9am if you take half an hour total to get gas, eat if you haven't already...etc. I suggest it end about 4pm. - Jameson L.

Comments:
 * Sorry my spring break is at that date, and I'm partying and way out of town. Also this is better for talk page of the next meetup, which should be renamed Florida. Secret account 23:23, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Proposal 1: Orlando Area
Proposed location: Orlando-area Reason: Reachable by car from most extremes of Florida, including the Miami niche, the Tampa niche, as well as the Jacksonville niche. Proposed by: - Jameson L. Tai  talk ♦ contribs 12:28, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Comments:
 * It would really depend on many things for me, including the starting and ending times (approx. three hour drive). -- Donald Albury 12:50, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Yea a three hour drive it's a bit much, what about Boca Raton or somewhere in that area. Secret account 23:24, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately I won't be able to attend... I'm going to be very busy these next few months. · AndonicO  Hail!  19:08, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Yea you can reach it from all the locations in Florida but I doubt you're going to have everyone drive 3 hours to go meet up. Why don't we make one down in Miami and one up in Tally? So the northern Florida people can go to a Tally meetup and southern people can go to a Miami meetup.Katanada (talk) 15:11, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Note that there is a meetup @ Gainesville set to take place in September or October. Please comment there.   - Jameson L. Tai   talk  ♦  contribs  19:13, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
