Wikipedians in Melbourne had held four previous meetups. The fifth was a breakfast meeting with Jimbo Wales in the city on Friday, 27 April 2007.
Jimbo proposed breakfast as the one real window of opportunity during his tightly scheduled stay in Melbourne.
Current arrangements are that it's a 7.30 am start until Jimbo has to leave for his conference. For conference details (being held at ZINC, Federation Square) see: [1].
Venue is the The Blue Train in Southbank. No booking but they're kind of expecting us.
If anyone knows people not on the above list, would you please draw it to their attention.
Please sign here and give some indication of how likely you are to be able to turn up.

08:07, 29 March 2007 (UTC)I'll try to work out a venue after consulting with Jimbo on where in the city he will be for his conference. I'll also try to remember to bring a camera - I'm sure I won't be the only one. Hmmmm, what else? Would name tags be useful? I suppose it might depend on how many of us there are. Is anyone any good at making them if we decide we want them? Metamagician3000 07:46, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
I've made some inquiries at the Blue Train, since it's a spot at Southbank that I know well and have always liked. It'll be only a short walk to Jimbo's venue and is very easily accessible by train or tram. I expect that parking would even be quite easy at that time of day.
They don't take bookings but tell me that, assuming a group of about 15, we'll be able to have any spot in the house if we turn up at 7.30 am. But if anyone has better ideas, or wants to research some other possibilities, let's get it on the table (as it were). Metamagician3000 09:56, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
I can't help thinking that, if he is pressed for time, it may be better to choose somewhere actually at Fed Square. FNMF 11:21, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
I haven't addressed the issue of any particular agenda, but I wonder if there are any things that people particularly want to discuss with Jimbo there. If there are, maybe make a note here so others are aware of them in advance. This is the first meetup for me, so I have no real sense of what has been discussed in the past. Metamagician3000 14:35, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
I think we should keep it fairly freeform. However, I would like to ask Jimbo about his views on:

Don't forget to brush your hair before going! Jimbo is making a documentary . He had a camera at Sydney, so presumably will at Melbourne too. John Dalton 13:04, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
I look forward to any observations. Thanks to Jimbo for giving us his time and sharing his thoughts - and to everyone who turned up. I was a bit nervous about whether the venue, etc., would work, but it all seemed fine to me. Anyone get any decent photos? I took a couple of shots but in a bit of rush, so I don't know that they'll have turned out great. Will check them later. It'd be good if we arranged a follow-up meetup not too far down the track, while it's still fresh in people's memories. Metamagician3000 00:25, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
Here are some photos I took, feel free to share and use. I enjoyed the meetup. It was inspiring to meet and chat with Jimmy. Peter Campbell 06:11, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
