Hi Sue,

Recapping: I think James (Owen) wrote this list to see if anyone here wanted to take charge of organizing a meetup while I'm in Toronto. I don't think he got much/any response, which is fine and to be expected,
I think I wrote back to him when he posted first (circa Nov/2010), but I did also follow up privately in the past few days.
So I think we should do this:
- Toronto-area Wikimedians who might be able to attend, should state
any preferences to this list, CCing James. It would be helpful, I think, for James to know whether people prefer day or evening, weekend or weekday, and if they have preferences for neighbourhood. We won't have tons of wiggle room, but we'll likely have some, and we'd try to accommodate people's preferences as much as we can.
- James will figure out a location and date/time, and publish it to this
list.
- I'll turn up at the appointed time and place, and spend some time
with whoever's able to be there.
It won't be a formal event, just a casual meet-up since I happen to be in town. It'd be great to see anyone who can manage to come :-)
I'm willing to help James out, and try to get the word out to GTA Wikimedians (those further away are welcome, of course). I think James had penciled in a meeting time and day -- but either you or he could indicate what (if any) the alternatives are.
Thanks, Gerald
