 * User:Lou Sander There is a good chance I will be out of town that week. It's too early to tell for sure, though. Lou Sander (talk) 19:29, 12 June 2015 (UTC)


 * user:robertekraut will be around for part of the meet-up. 128.237.125.62 (talk)


 * Sorry. Can't attend. We are doing lots with wikis, http://CLOH.wikia.com. On that date, and mostly all summer, we're at the swim pool. Calendar at http://CLOH.org. How about if you all move the gathering to the swim pool? 21:45, 18 June 2015 (UTC) from Mark Rauterkus


 * It's nice to see the community is still alive. I have left US 3 years ago, sadly, so I can't be there. Cheers to all old friends, and kudos for the new ones. Say, since this is CMU-affiliated, are you doing some follow-up on Farzan and Kraut research ? (Hi Robert, glad to see you are still interested in Wikipedia). PS. I hope this meetup will at least give us a photo of Newell Simon Hall :) --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 02:48, 19 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Hi, everyone! I am in the area and would be interested in attending!! However, I am taking night classes this summer during most of the week except Tuesdays! Is there any way we can do a future meetup on a Tuesday or possibly change the date to Tuesday June 23rd? Thanks for the invitation, static shakedown ʕ •ᴥ•ʔ  13:34, 19 June 2015 (UTC)


 * I would absolutely be there would that I were not out of town :-( Thanks for the invitation! Best, Weatherman1126  (  talk  ) 20:13, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

Let's plan another..
I am sorry I missed the meet up in July. Is anyone interested in organizing another one?

Next Meet-up in Pittsburgh
I guess you could say that I got tired of waiting for someone else to organize an event so I would like to invite all Pittsburghers who consider themselves to be Wikipedians to the following meet-up:
 * When: Thursday, April 3, 2015
 * Where: Gallery-Very Fine Art, 2743 East Carson St., South Side Works, Pittsburgh, PA 15203
 * Time: 6pm - 9pm

I will be your host, and provide table space, chairs, an Internet connection and some munchies. There will be no alcohol so don't expect to see it. I especially want to invite Wikipedians and who consider themselves to be females, I hear we are a rare breed. Please RSVP closer to the event so that I can make sure I have enough to eat for you, my guests. I am doubly curious to make an acquaintance with an administrator since I secretly believe they don't even exist.

 * I definitely want to come, and will most likely be available. Now, if I can manage not to forget the date... (BTW, somebody needs to move the stuff about previous meetups to the archive or whatever is available for this.) Lou Sander (talk) 15:48, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

 * We generally have 2 or 3 tables gathered under the tent thing (not sure what is real name is) I will bring a paper (8 X 11) with WIKIPEDIA on it. I should be arriving at noon give or take 10 minutes. Not everyone planning to attend lists their name here, so there could be two or 3 times more people then you expect to see. There is chance of showers Saturday, but as we have a roof, no reason to anticipate a cancellation. JeepdaySock (AKA, Jeepday) 10:30, 20 June 2013 (UTC)


 * We'll see. I'm curious about the age range though as I may be a bit out of my element if this is a "college student" type of gathering.  striking that - Lou and I may have a few things in common. — Ched :  ?  12:22, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

Actual attendees

 * I attended and spent an hour or so. It was very nice. Saw some folks I met two years ago, plus one new adult and one new 18-month-old. Most of those I saw before had quite a bit less hair this time. I was awarded a physical barnstar; I didn't know that such things existed. See, there's no substitute for actually being there.

August 2010 meetup
The first Pittsburgh meetup was held on Sunday, 22 August 2010, near the University of Pittsburgh campus, at 3:00 in the afternoon. The location was the Fuel & Fuddle (map) at 212 Oakland Ave, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15213. We have the basement reserved and had dinner there, as well as Polish sweets courtesy of Piotrus. It was generally agreed that this was a good place to meet; the nachos received high praise from those who ordered them.

We talked about:
 * Wikipedia assignments
 * Sock policy and how instructors sometimes need to use separate accounts for running assignments
 * The problem that categories don't work like tags

We plan to meet again, maybe in about two months.
