Hello Jillian,
The timing, 2:30 pm to 6 pm is good. I have updated the signup page with the
information.
I will be bringing a laptop. I hope others will too. Do you have WiFi access
at the library?
We do not have any meetups planned before November 19th. I will let you know
about future meetups well in advance.
Thanks for your support.
Ganesh

Hello Ganesh,
November 19th sounds great. The Reference floor conference room is
available that day from 2:30 pm to closing at 6:00 pm. We wish we could
give you more time, but there is a group meeting in there beforehand. If
you want a longer session, we may be able to put you in the General
Collections conference room on 3rd floor (which also has a pretty good
reference collection and is one floor up from us). We will arrange for a
projector and screen for you.
Do all of you have laptops? We have desktop computers available for you
here, but none in the actual conference rooms.
A regular Wikimedians meetup at the library sounds fantastic. If you guys
can decide on dates when you would like to regularly meet and give us some
advance notice, we can keep the conference room and projector reserved for
you on those dates. If you want to go ahead and schedule your next
quarterly meeting before November 9th, we can announce the event on our
website and in the library's magazine and distribute flyers. Just let us
know. :)
Jill

Wikipedia Loves Libraries is a wiki-coordinated program of distributed
micro-conferences (editathons) to be held at libraries and archives in
cities across North America around *October 2011*.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Loves_Libraries
The advantages of the Wikipedia Loves Libraries model:
- Easy to organize, even at small public libraries
- Welcoming to everyone, Wikipedians, Librarians, and all library patrons
- It's "the living reference section"
- Also, it's fun!
Is there any interest in meeting up for this event in the Metro Atlanta
area? We have a month to plan this event. October 22 is a tentative date.
Best regards,
Ganesh
