Who should come?You should. Really. If you are interested in Wikipedia or other
Wikimedia projects, regardless of your level of experience or involvement, or if you are otherwise involved with
free content you are invited and welcome.
What, Where, When, and How?
What? : DC Wiki(p|m)edian meetup
When? : Saturday, September 26th — 6 p.m. until it ends
The 8th DC meetup will be on September 26th at a place to be decided Burma Restaurant, beginning at 6pm. We usually stay for several hours, and after that, some people may stay out a while longer for drinks somewhere.
Burma restaurant is located at 740 6th Street NW. The nearest Metro is
Gallery Pl-Chinatown.
I am pretty certain. I can't ever be absolutely certain something won't come up, but the probability is high enough to put me in the "yes" group rather than the "maybe" group. --

I'll be there...gonna be my first time!
The Blue Wizard (Update: Um, do I need to reserve a spot by myself? Also my friend is coming to the meetup as well...thanks for the answers!)
I'd like to come, but I go to school in Pittsburgh and I would likely be stranded by the G20 (Amtrak has decided not to sell tickets from Pittsburgh to DC on this date, I'm not sure about Greyhound).

I'll try to come this time. Also, still have
concerns about location, but if we are 100% sure they would accommodate any disabled person, then that's fine. --

I live right by Chinatown and I'm quite interested in both Wikipedia and DC. I'm not very involved normally, but I feel like I should come see what this is all about.

Darrell Duane I've got
5Rhythms Dance all day but if I'm not too exhausted I'll come down.
I signed under "don't let me know about future events" for DC 7, and I'm a bit surprised at getting a announcement for THIS meetup. I'd appreciate it if I didn't get another one next time. I won't be living in DC anytime soon (for the immediate, foreseeable future, anyway). If that changes, great. But as it is, please don't send me another announcement.
Burma is at
740 6th St, NW, near the Gallery Place/Chinatown metro station). It is advisable to take the Metrorail (Red, Green, or Yellow lines) to the Gallery Place station. There are parking garages in the area for those who wish to drive, but they may be expensive (especially if there is an event at the Verizon Center).
The DC metro system is one of the highest regarded public transportation systems in the United States. Normally this isn't saying much, but the system is rather good. All directions given will be provided in terms of the Washington Metro system.
Many suburban stations have significant amounts (as in hundreds of spaces) of parking, and it's free on weekends. Metro does allow bicycles on trains during off-peak times, and this being on a Saturday, it qualifies as off-peak.
