Hope to see you there - I've heard a rumour that the first drink is on the highest placed Australian in the current arbcom elections.... Privatemusings (talk) 23:44, 4 December 2008 (UTC) ok, so I started that rumour too....

Meetup time again
Hi all, it's Meetup time again :-) - Hopefully you'll be up for meeting on April 22nd at about 6pm at The Paragon, a pub in Circular Quay. It'll be the usual round of drinks and chit chats, with no particular agenda, just some friendly faces, and a shared interest in Wiki stuff. If you've thought about coming along before, but haven't made it - we'd love to see you - it'll be a relaxed, social chin wag about all things wiki - bring anyone along you fancy, and I hope you can make it :-)

Please do sign up on the meetup page, and do also feel free to nominate an alternative time / date / location if for whatever reason the 21st doesn't work for you - we're an accommodating bunch :-) cheers, Privatemusings (talk) 04:11, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

Meetup in Sydney - special event!
GLAM-WIKI is now less than a week away and we're fully booked. But - for those in Sydney we're also having a big meetup with our visiting guests from Wikimedia Germany and the Wikimedia Foundation itself. So, if you're free on Tuesday night, please come down to The Rocks for dinner and drinks. There will be media there and probably several of the GLAM sector attendees of the conference too. Let's show them how vibrant out local Wikimedia community is! Signup here: Meetup/Sydney

Sydney Meetup
I think you may have been notified by email, but I thought it was worth my dropping in a note anywhoo, to let you know that Sydney Wikipedians are having a meetup this coming Tuesday, the 4th August. As you'll see on that page, we have two folk flying in from the Wikimedia Foundation who will be attending, and we have a great crowd of wiki types signed up to come along.

If you've never been to a meetup before, this wouldn't be a bad one to kick off with (we're all very friendly, interesting, and great looking folk ;-), and if you have, well come along again, why don't ya! If you've any questions you can flick the aussie mailing list an email on wikimediaau-l@lists.wikimedia.org aussie mailing list, or drop me a note on my talk page. Hope to see some of you there!

ps. If you've already signed up, and received an email, and a phone call, and a door knock, and are getting a bit frustrated with constant advances from enthusiastic australian wiki types, then I'm told you can print this message, and bring it along to use as a 'free beer' voucher, redeemable by our esteemed Vice-President of WMAU on the night...... ;-) Privatemusings (talk) 22:06, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Meetup Time in Sydney :-)
Hi all,

It's meetup time again in Sydney - hopefully you'll be able to come along for friendly chat and drinks about all things wiki - topics will no doubt include the Chapter - perhaps with planning for the upcoming AGM, the general state of wiki-play, and the traditional candle lighting to encourage the mythical flagged-revisions extension to make its way on to the wiki. At this point, I usually mention that sitting wiki arbitrators are compelled to buy everyone a drink, but one of our number has taken a rather extreme route in avoiding this duty - if you have no idea what I'm talking about then you're probably busy writing and maintaining articles - but come along anyways on the 21st October, from 18.30 til late, to find out :-) cheers, Privatemusings (talk) 21:32, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Mungo Lake remains
I have been in many discussions regarding LM3 and particularly the dating issues brought forth as a consequence of Thorne. I was thinking however of fixing he problem on the page as it largely relied on unreliable press briefings, consequently I went through the Mungo lake papers I had and repaired the page based on those papers. There is more out there but I do not have all the access to the feild notes that Alan Thorne has, Mungo Man and Mungo Lady were combined into one pages as there are at least remains from 15 other individuals at the site. In the Analyses by Adcock they did LM3, 4, 8, and 15 IIRC. Therefore for LM1 and LM3 my opinion was that the page was largely complete, however for the other human remains I wanted to add more information on the other remains. I have found no addition information yet.PB666 yap 21:54, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

 * yes, I do know; the fun is: even though my signature appears without linking to my user page after signing with 4 ~ a bot will always sign it for me... I don't know why and acutally I don't care. schomynv 11:58, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

It's been a while since the wiki folk of Sydney had the chance to meetup - and there's quite a lot going on. If you've never been to a meetup before, you're especially welcome, and if you're an old hand, then please do make an effort to touch base :-) You can sign up here, or drop a note on my talk page if you have any questions or anything - hope to see you there! cheers, Privatemusings (talk) 02:57, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Sydney Meetup :-)
See the meetup page for further information - short version is that we're hoping to meet in a fortnight in the city for a beer and a chat. Minors and Miners are welcome, with a responsible adult and a minimum of coal dust ;-) - do try and get out if you can, it's been a little while since wiki folk met in Sydney :-) cheers, Privatemusings (talk) 05:29, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
