Hey everybody,
How does Saturday, November 9, sound like for a date for Wiki Loves Libraries? That gives us two weeks to get the news out, which is more time than we had for the last meetup :P. An event page is up: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Boulder/November_2013
We could book a meeting room at the Boulder Public Library (1001 Arapahoe Avenue, Boulder -- map available at http://goo.gl/maps/NZFbc),
1. We've never been, and we'd have a chance to talk to librarians there who might be interested in Wikipedia things, and
2. The Commons does not have a photograph of Boulder Public Library, how can this be?
Both libraries close at 6pm, at which point we could walk to downtown Boulder and get dinner together maybe. Unless you want to meet for lunch at the Boulder Farmers' Market (http://www.boulderfarmers.org/hourslocation.html) instead?
I know that two weeks in advance is a long time to know whether you can make it or not, but I'd love to know if you definitely can't (in which case we might reschedule), or if you'd prefer us to meet further south like last time.
cheers,
Gaurav
I will have to sit this one out. I have a busy schedule in November (but December doesn't look much better).

I like this idea! We could take some great photos of the Denver Public Library, the Boulder Public, or Norlin.
Relatedly, how does everybody feel about having our next meet up on Saturday, October 26? My friend Andy might be able to make it then!
Cheers,
Gaurav

I'm starting to get some of the photos from Saturday's trip uploaded to
Commons. Any feedback as to either what processing might make them better
or where they might be useful would be quite welcome, I still have the
originals so can do whatever processing is needed. I'll be uploading more
over this next week.
