Hello Wikimedians! I apologize for the delayed response. I have been out for a few days but John has been working closely with me on this and can speak for me when I'm out. I think there will be enough outlets, but I will bring a power strip just in case. Also, we asked about food, since some of you may be staying for a while and the conference room is reserved until close to dinnertime. You are welcome to bring snacks and something to drink with you.

We may not know exactly what we're going to do until that day, when we see how many people show, etc. But it sounds like a great place to have a meeting. Thank you for your help. =) Jesanj On Mon, Oct 24, 2011 at 10:27 AM, Wright, John <John.Wright@fultoncountyga.gov<mailto:John.Wright@fultoncountyga.gov>> wrote: Jesanj, I am John Wright, a librarian here at the Central Library I have been working with Jillian on your Wikimedians event. The WiFi signal in the meeting room is strong. The Meeting Room you will be in has eight outlets, including two floor outlets in the middle of the room. So, we can configure the room to suit your needs. Depending on the configuration you want or for added flexibility, you may want to bring a surge protector. The Meeting Room is fairly good sized. If you would like to set up one end of the room for Wikimedians to work on Wikipages, there should still be plenty of space to do training on the other side of the room. John N.

I see you do have WiFi at the library: http://www.afpls.org/afplsservices/wi-fi#InformationSafe Is the signal in the Reference floor conference room good? And how many electrical outlet plugs are in the room? (I could bring my surge protector with 5 outlets on it if needed.)

I have updated the signup page with the information. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Atlanta/Atlanta_2 I will be bringing a laptop. I hope others will too. Do you have WiFi access at the library? We do not have any meetups planned before November 19th. I will let you know about future meetups well in advance. Thanks for your support.

The Reference floor conference room is available that day from 2:30 pm to closing at 6:00 pm. We wish we could give you more time, but there is a group meeting in there beforehand. If you want a longer session, we may be able to put you in the General Collections conference room on 3rd floor (which also has a pretty good reference collection and is one floor up from us). We will arrange for a projector and screen for you. Do all of you have laptops? We have desktop computers available for you here, but none in the actual conference rooms. A regular Wikimedians meetup at the library sounds fantastic. If you guys can decide on dates when you would like to regularly meet and give us some advance notice, we can keep the conference room and projector reserved for you on those dates. If you want to go ahead and schedule your next quarterly meeting before November 9th, we can announce the event on our website and in the library's magazine and distribute flyers. Just let us know. :) Jill ________________________________________ From: wikimedia-us-ga-atl-bounces@lists.wikimedia.org<mailto:wikimedia-us-ga-atl-bounces@lists.wikimedia.org> [wikimedia-us-ga-atl-bounces@lists.wikimedia.org<mailto:wikimedia-us-ga-atl-bounces@lists.wikimedia.org>] On Behalf Of wikimedia-us-ga-atl-request@lists.wikimedia.org<mailto:wikimedia-us-ga-atl-request@lists.wikimedia.org> [wikimedia-us-ga-atl-request@lists.wikimedia.org<mailto:wikimedia-us-ga-atl-request@lists.wikimedia.org>] Sent: Wednesday, October 19, 2011 12:07 AM To: wikimedia-us-ga-atl@lists.wikimedia.org<mailto:wikimedia-us-ga-atl@lists.wikimedia.org> Subject: Wikimedia-US-GA-ATL Digest, Vol 2, Issue 1 Send Wikimedia-US-GA-ATL mailing list submissions to wikimedia-us-ga-atl@lists.wikimedia.org<mailto:wikimedia-us-ga-atl@lists.wikimedia.org> To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-us-ga-atl or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to wikimedia-us-ga-atl-request@lists.wikimedia.org<mailto:wikimedia-us-ga-atl-request@lists.wikimedia.org> You can reach the person managing the list at wikimedia-us-ga-atl-owner@lists.wikimedia.org<mailto:wikimedia-us-ga-atl-owner@lists.wikimedia.org> When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Wikimedia-US-GA-ATL digest..."

Is there any interest in meeting up for this event in the Metro Atlanta area? We have a month to plan this event. October 22 is a tentative date. Best regards, Ganesh
