Invite list
Please add yourself to the invite list to be informed of this and future Hartford meetups. If your name's already on the list and you do not wish to get future notices, you may remove yourself.
First meetup
At the first meetup, we had 5 attendees: Pharos, Mitchazenia, Shapiros10, Polaron and Jehochman. We discussed a number of things, including the possible structure of the CT meetups (compared to the New York City ones most of us had attended), "teaching" about Wikipedia at the Hartford public library, the recent arbcom elections, RFA and the "cabal" that surrounds both elections.
We also formed a temporary committee for organizing meetups.
Meetup 1.5
(Clockwise from the left: Thingg, Shapiros10, Newyorkbrad, J.delanoy, and Jehochman. Daniel Case had to leave before we took the picture.) Notice the "barnstar" behind us!
At Meetup 1.5, we had 6 attendees: Thingg, Shapiros10, Newyorkbrad, J.delanoy, Daniel Case and Jehochman. We had more general discussion of WP, with great variety in topics. Such topics included rangeblocks, banned users, RFAs and ArbCom.
