Revision as of 21:16, 8 November 2010

Not to be confused with PortlandWiki's other weekly meetings on Mondays, the Monday Meets.

Portland WikiWednesday is a weekly meeting (every Wednesday, formerly the 1st Wednesday of every month) where wiki enthusiasts and anyone who is interested meets to talk wikis, Internet, New Media, and other geeky and not-so-geeky subjects. Food and drink is typically plentiful, as well as friendly folks. PortlandWiki itself was conceived, launched, and developed originally by WikiWednesday attendees. A frequent topic of discussion is PortlandWiki, so feel free to bring your PortlandWiki questions and comments!

More information about Portland WikiWednesday, including upcoming meeting times and places, is located on its own wiki, pdx.wiki.org. Also its open mailing list often has the most up-to-date information about last-minute changes.

Of course, you don't need to hang out with a bunch of Portland wiki geeks to contribute to PortlandWiki. But if you do decide to come hang out with us (and we hope you do!), we'll do our best to help you get started. Plus, we're a fun bunch, can't you tell?

Other PortlandWiki meetups

These other meetups are very similar, just at different venues and at different times.

Stumps are short, minimal pages with only the most basic information.
Please help them grow by telling their story!
