I would love to see an SF Loves Wikipedia event too, but yes --as you suggested, Cary-- it
would need to be driven by volunteers. The Wikimedia Foundation's not the SF chapter
or even the US chapter; we shouldn't do stuff for SF that we can't do for Cairo or
Montreal or Johannesburg.
(Having said that, if something gets underway, I might participate as a volunteer too
:-)

I would also like to see us do something like
"San Francisco Loves Wikipedia" or "The Bay Area Loves Wikipedia"
or
similar, given the fact that we were unable to take part in last
February's "Wikis Love Art" because our museums did not get back to us
in time.
See <http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Britain_Loves_Wikipedia> as an
example of a future event. I think we might even plan something for
sooner, on a smaller scale. Heck, I'm even willing to devote myself
under "volunteer time" for something like this :)

Anyways, the last meeting 2 important suggestions came up. 1) We
should have meet ups more often (like once a month) with the
knowledge that people simply wont make every single one (rather
than trying to accommodate everyone every time). 2) We should have
"field trips" - translation: We should have a meetup where we go
and _do_ something rather than sit around and chat.
Since last time we talked, I'd say we should do a field trip.
We've got a small list on-wiki already [[w:Wikipedia:Meetup/San
Francisco#Future]] (
http://enwn.net/Ae10 ). If anyone has a
suggestion of somewhere else to go, great, if not, lets pick
something off the list.

Hi all!
Given that I've missed the last few meetups, do we have a next date
planned?
Ready to hear ideas...
