Hello all,
Poll consensus has indicated *Thursday, August 8, 6:00pm – 9:00pm* as the
preferred time. We'll be meeting at that time in downtown Chicago at Plymouth
Restaurant & Rooftop Bar <https://goo.gl/maps/zYfAiHj3AKbqZ81x5>. Food will
be covered, tentatively up to $10 per attendee (up to $150 total); drinks
will not be covered. Take a look at our meetup page on Wikipedia
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Chicago_19> for a more
detailed agenda, and to *sign up* (please sign up if you think you can make
it)!
Feel free to drop by or head out at any time during the meetup! Looking
forward to seeing some of you there.
Best,
Brian Choo

Update: I've just applied for a $250 microgrant
from Wikimedia NYC to make
this meetup a 2019 Wikinic. This would cover food costs.

Hello Chicago Wikimedians,
Wikimedian Thomas Shafee will be visiting from Australia
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Airplaneman#Visiting_Chicago>
this August, and it's a great chance for us to plan a casual meetup. I've
created a handy dandy doodle poll
<https://doodle.com/poll/qtt8wpcqmm54pdfk> to gauge availability.
Current time options are for the evenings on Thursday, August 8 and
Saturday, August 10. The location will most likely be a restaurant in
downtown Chicago. If you'd like to attend, please fill it out. I'll be in
touch around next week with more concrete plans based on poll results.
If you know of anyone who may be interested in attending but isn't part
of this listhost, please let them know they're invited! Please be in touch
on here, our Facebook group
<https://www.facebook.com/groups/1908906602738667/>, or our meta page
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedians_of_Chicago_User_Group> if
you have any questions or communications.
Looking forward to seeing you all in August!
Best,
Brian Choo
