Hi all!
I'm coming to San Franscisco to spend a couple of days at the Wikimedia Office on Feb 7/8. But before that, I have a weekend to spend in SF... well, I might already have something for Saturday, but Sunday is still free.
So... any recommendations what to do and see? where to hang out in the evening? I'd like to see a bit more than the office and the hotel, and I'm not so much for the touristy stuff...
ideas?

Have you seen http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Visiting_San_Francisco ?
If you like doing hikes, you can do what I did last Saturday and walk the Land's End Trail. It's about a 3km hike, which you can extend by going back on the El Camino Del Mar Trail via the Legion of Honor, and/or by visiting Sutro Heights Park, and/or by continuing into the Presidio toward the Golden Gate Bridge. If you're in the SoMa area (where the office is), take bus 38L to Geary & 48th. The trail starts near the parking lot at Point Lobos Ave.
Another fun thing to do is get lost in Golden Gate Park, which is a huge (roughly 7x1 km) park in the middle of the city. Lots of cool stuff there, and lots of bike rental places around the edge of the park.

I think that might have been copied from elsewhere for a specific event. The part near the end about having breakfast and lunch provided? Awesome, but I don't think they're giving everyone who comes to SF free food ;-)

If only!
Would it be worth giving this page a quick hack to make it a general visitors guide / pointer to good visitors guides? Considering how many visitors the WMF office gets, it would probably be a good idea :)

Thanks for the input everyone!

No, I didn't see that, thanks!

That sounds like a really good idea. I could use a bit of walking and fresh air after all the conferencing. I hope the weather isn't too wet :)

Yea, I have fond memories of Golden Gate Park, from when I was in SF in, oh my... 1994?...

I'm in town until next Thursday, so we can hang out if you like. Sunday is my 20th birthday, and, if you feel up to it, you'd be welcome to join the celebrations.
That would be Sunday the 30th, right? Damn, I'll just be flying in on that day, I probably can't handle a party after a transatlantic flight... also, I have to get to Santa Clara, not SF - I'll be stuck there until Friday, I'm attending the Strata conference. I'd love to hang out, but I doubt that I'll have an opportunity to come to SF before the weekend. If you want to come down to SC, by all means, do :)

FYI, Feb 6th is "Super Bowl Sunday". A sporting event whose celebration tends to eclipse the actual sports part.
Depending on your inclination you could either embrace the "AMERICA FUCK YEAH" aspect of the day, or avoid it entirely.
uhuh... I'm not one for national chest bumping, nor am I much into sports. Though sporting events *can* be fun with the right crowd :) We'll see.
Thanks for the warning though, I guess I'll stay away from bars that night...
Anyway, see you soon! -- daniel
PS: if anyone as more infos/ideas - keep them coming!

Dear all,
I have used the dump from http://download.wikimedia.org/enwiki/20101011/enwiki-20101011-stub-meta-hist..., imported into sql database.
However, I could see any data on 2001 to 2004, anyone know what's wrong?
thanks,
Zeyi
