Pushing the envelope here, but would there be any interest in attending a Washington Nationals game? I haven't yet had an opportunity to see the new ballpark. (And while I would enjoy putting the New York group together for a trip to Citi Field or the new Yankee Stadium, tickets there are pretty much impossible these days.)

Let me know if anyone really objects to this, or if you have ideas. But, it would be good to go ahead and make reservations soon. -- Aude ( talk) 02:04, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
I've been looking at options for meeting space, but then heard about an Apps for Democracy [1] event that is taking place the same day on June 6th. Ultimately, it's a tech-oriented event, but focus is on open source technology including wikis as a means of making data [2] available from the DC government in new applications, mashups, etc. I would be interested in if/how some of this data could be made useful for Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects.
I thought our group might be interested and it's an opportunity to give presentations, and reach out to others interested in open source technology. The event takes place all day at George Washington University (near the Foggy Bottom metro), though I think if you want to come for just part of the event, that's okay. I have signed up to give a short presentation at the event, and others can also signup. I can see about us getting a room to do wiki-related presentations together some time in the afternoon.
Anyway, here is the event information and RSVP link: [3] After the event (at 5pm), we can gather for dinner somewhere near GWU. I suggest the TGI Fridays at 21st St & Pennsylvania Avenue. Reservations still need to be made. I'm still open to going to a ball game on Sunday, but that would be completely optional. Let me know if this plan sounds good for people. -- Aude ( talk) 00:15, 28 May 2009 (UTC)
For future meetups, I (and anyone else) can continue looking for a good, regular meeting place. We need to find something that ideally would not cost much or anything, yet would allow us to do presentations and informal discussions. -- Aude ( talk) 00:15, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

I stopped by TGI Friday's and was less than impressed. They apparently don't take reservations, except perhaps if you call 24 hours ahead of time. The staff was not so helpful, and the menu has hardly anything vegetarian.
So, I checked out the Bertucci's pizza/Italian place across the street (21st & I St NW). Their staff couldn't have been more helpful, and think it will be fairly quiet so we will be able to hear each other. So, reservations are made for Bertucci's at 5pm on Saturday. -- Aude ( talk) 02:33, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
