Original Planning
Everyone who intends to come, please sign up in empty car spaces and/or contact the appropriate driver. Talk pages work for that.
- Unfortunately 16:30 at Yaletown station is a bit too early for me to meet with the downtown group. Could I join Elbie and Robyn for the 19:00 at UBC group? Whereabouts at UBC would we be meeting? Also, I have the restriction that I have to be home that night, as in I can't participate in a camping hash, if that's still planned. -Srs0 15:10, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
- Elbie can't attend, so I was going to go earlier, but don't want to leave anyone behind. What's the earliest you can go, srs0?
- I have work until 17:00, so the earliest I feel comfortable leaving is 16:00. Then, accounting for a quick stop at home to get the essentials, I'm guessing I'd be able to make it back to UBC by 17:30. Or, alternatively, I could meet at a closer point to my house at around 17:00 (as I guess the limitation of meeting at UBC is no longer there). However, I don't want to inconvenience you if you're planning to leave at 14:00, so I can transit to the closest point and then someone can meet me there? Either works with me, I just don't want to be too much of a burden. -Srs0 15:58, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
- Can you make it to meet Yangman? If so I can go with the Rhonda car and leave mine at home. -Robyn 16:17, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
- According to Translink, I can probably reach Lougheed Town Center skytrain station at around 18:00-18:15. That's 45-60 minutes later than Yangman was planning, but I don't know how flexible he is. If anyone has his contact info (or is on the geohashing channel and he is too), maybe they could ask? -Srs0 16:25, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
- Definitely flexible if the group is willing to wait. You can find me on IRC to work out details. -Yangman 16:34, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
- I've never been on irc before, and I'm trying now, but it won't connect. I'm using the server as irc.foonetic.net/geohashing and the port as a default port of 6667, with no SSL. I've also tried with SSL. Any tips on what settings I should be using? (Using Empathy on Ubuntu if it matters) -Srs0 16:56, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

Formating
My group shot is coming up in a weird place, and I also don't see the list of participants. Did I break something? -- [[user:thepiguy]] 02:45, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
- I take it you fixed it. It looks awesome now. -Robyn 02:56, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
- Really? I don't see a list of participants. I wonder if it's just me... -- [[user:thepiguy]] 05:07, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
Comments
Yay! That was so much fun, and now I'm having fun again reading the report. Thank you all for a fabulous Geohashing Day. -Robyn 21:15, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
- By now you manage to gather almost as many geohashers from a *single* graticule as we collected all over Germany, *with* Canadian support. Congratulations! :D -- relet 06:35, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
