Hi Karen,
Sorry I did not get back to you earlier. I can think of a couple of options
so far:
1) Campus libraries: It seems it is easy for registered campus
organizations to get access to meeting rooms. The problem is, although
Berkeley Wikipedia club is a registered group, room reservation can only be
done by a "signatory" for the group. The group mailing list itself is
inactive - I wonder if anyone on this list (Kevin Gorman?) is a signatory.
2) The Berkeley Public Library: They seem to have a public room for
community events (free, with free wifi) if you book it well in advance.

3) I've written to my friend who works with the Compass Project, a student
support group in the physical sciences, to see if they have any space that
we can use - but I've yet to hear back from them.
Among these, the Berkeley Public Library looks like the safest bet. I'll
let you know if I can think of anything else..

Hello, all.
I've taken up the organizer role for the Berkeley Wikipedia meet-up group.
I'll do some figuring out on how to use Meetup. Would the person who
volunteered to find a space on UC campus please contact me?
I presume that we are aiming at a September first meeting, given how
summer seems to disrupt schedules.
If we can't find other meet-up places, my home has wifi, various computers
and screens, networked printing, and a fridge. We can try a meeting here,
if it's not a large one.
