CAMBRIDGE WIKIPEDIA MEETUP NUMBER 5 Took place: Saturday 14th November — 15:00 onwards Location: CB2 cybercafé, Norfolk St, Cambridge, CB1 2LD UK

Present
Came to CB2:
 * Carcharoth
 * Charles Matthews
 * Dsp13
 * Magnus Manske
 * Rainman
 * Tadpole
 * Terry0051

Topics included technology, Dictionary of National Biography, and True Knowledge. Then some of us went off to the pub around 6.45 for what turned into a long session.

Planning
Now planning the fifth Cambridge meetup. On the previous pattern, I suggest the afternoon of Saturday 14 November, at CB2 cybercafé on Norfolk Street from 3 pm to about 6 pm, adjourn to a pub for those who want dinner. Charles Matthews (talk) 14:15, 16 October 2009 (UTC)


 * We seem OK with this without the traditional debate, so this is confirmed. Here's the traditional map for those who don't know their way there. CB2 has food, drink, and wi-fi we didn't use last time. Charles Matthews (talk) 15:54, 20 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Moving on to Cambridge Blue (18:45). --Magnus Manske (talk) 18:45, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

Discussion

 * This doesn't clash with the London monthly meetup, announced for 8 November. Charles Matthews (talk) 14:15, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Charles, for getting this moving. I hope to make it. Dsp13 (talk) 19:57, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Sounds plausible, I'll hope to make it, even if CB2 is a bit poncy :-) William M. Connolley (talk) 20:33, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh well I failed - sorry. I blame my children William M. Connolley (talk) 19:40, 14 November 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm sure I'll be able to make it, just remind me a day before :) --rainman (talk) 22:49, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Absolutely - you and WMC. Charles Matthews (talk)


 * Cambridge newbie here -I think I can make it! :) -- Cycl o pia -  talk  09:43, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Any chance of pre agreeing the pub just in case (or someone email me a mobile number)? I know I have a bit of a no show track record but evening after the kids bedtime I might get out... although I am hosting a charity do at Emmanuel on the Friday pm so twice in a row might be pushing it. Aah, sweet domesticity. --BozMo talk 17:12, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, the pub is quite likely to be the Cambridge Blue which we have gone to on two previous occasions. I'm sure we could work out a rendezvous, anyway. Charles Matthews (talk) 20:19, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I'll hope to make it. Terry0051 (talk) 20:19, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I'll be there! --Magnus Manske (talk) 22:07, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the message. Although I'm in the US now, I might actually be passing through Cambridge around then. Mathsci (talk) 15:50, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm pretty busy doing Nanowrimo throughout November, but the local Nano group happens to have CB2 as a base of operations, so it's pretty likely I can decamp from their table to yours for part of the afternoon. Gonzonoir (talk) 10:56, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Sounds good, as ever. James F. (talk) 10:34, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
 * I would totally be at this... If I wasn't on my honeymoon that weekend. --81.154.242.69 (talk) 14:12, 6 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Should be there. GeometryGirl (talk) 20:31, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Seeing as I live about 5 minutes away I will try and come along for a bit. Smartse (talk) 21:42, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Hope to make it this time for some of the afternoon. AndrewWTaylor (talk) 23:03, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I will try to come along (possibly a little bit later). --Camtronix (talk) 23:26, 12 November 2009 (UTC) (Thanks for the kind hint on my talk page, Charles Matthews) --Camtronix (talk) 23:33, 12 November 2009 (UTC).


 * Comment : How are we supposed to recognize each other? -- Cycl o pia talk  00:03, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Clearly you've never been to a meetup before ... but go upstairs in CB2 and look for ...




 * ... trying to get people interested in Wikimedia UK membership forms, or waving his hands and talking about the Dictionary of National Biography with a Wikimania sunhat on. Or we could all agree to wear a green carnation in our buttonhole, maybe. (There is usually only one group who could be Wikipedians. I'll tell you the ferret story when I see you). Charles Matthews (talk) 19:34, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
 * LOL, right! thanks! -- Cycl o pia talk  19:38, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I thought it would be more amusing than telling you to look on my user page; though possibly less amusing than posting a photo of User:Jdforrester and making something up about it. Charles Matthews (talk) 19:51, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately I will miss it. Bad weather+work deadlines conspired against me. Sorry. -- Cycl o pia talk  15:03, 14 November 2009 (UTC)


 * I hope to be there for at least some of it Tadpole (talk) 11:46, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Managed to make it this time! Signing up retrospectively. Had a very enjoyable few hours discussing various matters, and I hope to make it next time as well. Hope the weather is better as well. Carcharoth (talk) 00:05, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
