Talk:Meetup graph
Awesome! Now we can play "The Six Degrees of Geohashers"! --Meghan 22:45, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
- Seems the longest shortest path that actually does connect is 5 connections at the moment, with either Nick_mz or Ilpadre at the one and warren at the other end. I'm proud to be part of it ;) Nice work! --Ekorren 10:39, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
- Looks like Thomcat is the Erdős of geohashing. My Thomcat number is 2. --Ilpadre 11:08, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
- My Thomcat number is also 2! But my Ilpadre number is 4. This will have to change. Clearly I should come line in Germany for the next 8 months. Thepiguy 03:28, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
- Drats; my Thomcat number is infinite. (My Erdős number is 3.) --starbird 12:44, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
Cool! Thomcat and I are hubs! thepiguy is going to Germany, so it looks like eastern Australia is my best bet for connecting up the graph. -Robyn 22:51, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
- Give me one month and I will supremely mess up this graph! Also, this is amazing! Thepiguy 06:30, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
- Geohashers, heed the call. If an out-of-towner posts "hey, I'd like to meet you guys" - do it!
- Seriously, this is way cool stuff. --Thomcat 13:49, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
Also:
- Adrian and Twilightcity met
- Holly, DaleF and Jaem met each other
- Kelsey met thepiguy and MylSh
- Warren and Garyuuko are the same person
- Kelsey and Galaxstart are also one and the same
Damn, I have to go meet some more geohashers.
- Robyn's meetups added, will upload new version tomorrow (or more like today in my timezone) Also, the single nodes (users without meetups) will be taken out. The graph (the version on my computer) now covers 75 users and 100 meetups. Koepfel talk 23:39, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
Very interesting. Reminded me of http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b47/ilpadre/Adolescentromanticnetwork_reviseda.jpg ;) --Ilpadre 05:54, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
- Woah! That's crazy, ilpadre... I wouldn't even BE on such a graph...-- UnwiseOwl
- Well, I thought more about this when creating the graph. But the Jefferson High graph is fascinating, too. Koepfel talk 15:25, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
Dammit Kate, why coudln't you have waited just 15 minutes! -- UnwiseOwl
Automatic
This would be the perfect thing for a small amount of scripting, which would automatically build this graph... --TheJosh 04:54, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
- We could just input the information in the more-or-less human readable dot format. -- relet 08:23, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
- Building the actual graph is not that hard, the hard part is extracting the data from various user and expedition pages. And I don't see how that could be done by a script. Koepfel talk 15:25, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah, because if you just looked for user names in expeditions you would get me commemorating Meghan, mentioning relet, and being reminded of bears by Juventas. Also even if everyone mentioned on the page arrived, you have to read intelligently to tell if they were present simultaneously. You could however, ask participating geohashers to maintain a "Geohashers Met" section and be sure to include only names of people they have met, i.e. if they want to list "almost met" people, put them in another section. -Robyn 15:50, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Setting Out Together
How about the less interesting relationship: geohashers who set out with each other, even if they didn't meet any other people there. For example, my and YawnWithExcitement's trip to Ayr. –Matty 06:00, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
Oh, the "meetings" I listed were all people who had come together. -Robyn
Users, who started an expedition together are in the graph, e.g. Harlequin and his dad. You and YawnWithExcitement are in now. Koepfel talk 15:25, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
