Wikipedia | Wikimedia meetups are opportunities to meet other Wikipedians face-to-face. There are lots of different kinds -- social events, talks, edit-a-thons, backstage passess, conferences, unconferences. With hundreds of thousands of contributors and millions of readers around the world, Wikipedia offers plenty to discuss and do.
Portland, Oregon has a special relationship with wiki. The inventor of wiki software, Ward Cunningham, is a Portlander, and the city's well known DIY culture is a natural fit for web sites designed to be collaboratively edited by small or large communities. Wikipedians and wiki enthusiasts of many other stripes have worked together to build a local community in Portland and the rest of the state since at least the mid-2000s.
This page is for local wiki event listings, and documents past events. If you are interested in Wikipedia, other Wikimedia projects, or open content culture or issues more generally, you are invited and welcome regardless of your level of experience or involvement!
