The April 2013 New York City Meetup event will be held on Sunday Apr 14, at Symposium Greek Restaurant @ 544 W 113th St (in the back room), on the Upper West Side in the Columbia University area.

What, Where, When, and How?[edit]

There is a public meeting in the afternoon at the appropriately-named Symposium Greek Restaurant (in the back room), where we take further steps to organize the Wikimedia New York City local chapter, and provide a salon-style forum for discussion of Wikipedia and Wikimedia issues.

Right afterward, there is an optional post-meeting Wiki-Dinner at the same venue.

Main public meeting[edit]

Regrets[edit]

Sincere regrets, I'll be running from a flag football game on Roosevelt Island to a celebratory dinner for my wife's enrollment in the clinical psych Ph.D. program at Columbia/TC. Next month! Thomas Craven (talk) 18:14, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Regrets. Going into final exams. Can you send us the date and place for the next meeting? Bearian (talk) 19:04, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I don't actually live in the New York metro area... how do I take my name off this list Lbr123 (talk) 21:06, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry can't make it this time. I'm writing a sci-fi novel and hope to have a draft ready by June. Maybe sometime after that.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 23:20, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I'll be in Washington, D.C. AstroCog (talk) 14:31, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
In California for a few weeks. Andrevan@ 18:40, 11 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Wish I could. Haven't been to a meetup since DEC2006. Would love to have the chance to catch up with Newyorkbrad. Keep me in the know for future events. --ColonelHenry (talk) 01:15, 12 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I've only ever made it to one meeting and would very much like to join you at the Symposium. A month of in-patient physical therapy following knee replacement keeps me elsewhere. — Robert Greer (talk) 11:50, 13 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
No can do this time around :( A fluffernutter is a sandwich! (talk) 14:56, 14 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
