==18th Anniversary and Business Meeting==
* Save the date. I have booked [[Rojo]]'s side room for an 18th anniversary party and business meeting on the afternoon of Sunday, March 17, 2024 (St Patrick's Day) from 1:00 to 4:00. The agenda for the business meeting is "Time to Grow Up", and we will aim to draft an advisory committee which will take up the task of discussing the future of the website (succession plans, etc.)  Anyone interested is invited to join us. More information to come. Feel free to contact me with questions, etc. --[[User:Dystopos|Dystopos]] ([[User talk:Dystopos|talk]]) 10:05, 1 February 2024 (CST)
** I have created an event page on Facebook. If you haven't been invited to interact with that page and would like to be, just let me know. Facebook interaction is by no means a requirement for actually coming to the party. --[[User:Dystopos|Dystopos]] ([[User talk:Dystopos|talk]]) 14:43, 12 February 2024 (CST)
*** Thank you to everyone who showed up. It was a surprisingly good turnout and very enjoyable. --[[User:Dystopos|Dystopos]] ([[User talk:Dystopos|talk]]) 11:23, 19 March 2024 (CDT)


===Remarks===
* You can find a copy of my remarks here: [[Bhamwiki talk:Messageboard/18th Anniversary notes]]. --[[User:Dystopos|Dystopos]] ([[User talk:Dystopos|talk]]) 20:01, 18 March 2024 (CDT)


===Advisory committee ===
* As mentioned in my spoken notes, I do plan to convene an advisory committee or like body, using the names proferred in March (and any others who are interested). I expect to be sending out an email in the next week or so. --[[User:Dystopos|Dystopos]] ([[User talk:Dystopos|talk]]) 16:33, 10 May 2024 (CDT)


==3rd Anniversary==
==Giants==
Now is the time for all good editors to come to the smorgasbord and celebrate another anniversary of Bhamwiki. March 15, 2009 falls on a Sunday. I'm open to keeping that date or moving to Friday or Saturday if that works better. I am also open to suggestions for a location, with the proviso that it should be a locally-owned establishment. As before, I plan on picking up some reasonable portion of the tab and bringing some door prizes and/or schwag. Other program suggestions will be entertained. --[[User:Dystopos|Dystopos]] 15:33, 4 February 2009 (PST)
* Any interest in a [[:Category:Restaurants named for San Francisco Giants players]]? --[[User:Dystopos|Dystopos]] ([[User talk:Dystopos|talk]]) 10:26, 22 June 2024 (CDT)
* As that will be a "kid weekend", if we could make it a lunch or brunch that would suit me better, Saturday or Sunday, or Sunday night.  I can't do Friday or Saturday night, especially if we're going to a place that serves alcohol.  I don't care where we go.  My usuals for a lunch/brunch are [[Rojo]] and [[Silvertron]].  --[[User:Wheresdib|--Wheresdib]] 23:21, 4 February 2009 (PST)
** Doing it sometime other than Sunday night would let me avoid taking a day off work.  (Not that I really mind.)  I was going to ask my parents to watch my boys, as they'd probably be bored, but if Wheresdib is bringing his....  I was about to nominate [[New York Pizza]], but then I remembered we did pizza last year.  Rojo or Silvertron are both good. --[[User:Lkseitz|Lkseitz]] 08:50, 5 February 2009 (PST)
*** Silvertron has a Sunday brunch from 11-2. Does that meet everyone's requirements? --[[User:Dystopos|Dystopos]] 09:20, 5 February 2009 (PST)
**** Silverton at brunch sounds great to me! I'll more than likely only have my 8 yr old son with me. [[User:Wheresdib|--Wheresdib]] 13:12, 5 February 2009 (PST)
 
* This is coming up pretty soon, and I realize now that I'll be kid free next weekend, so that means we can do it Saturday night if you would prefer.  [[User:Wheresdib|--Wheresdib]] 05:12, 4 March 2009 (PST)
** Saturday night or Sunday brunch still both work for me.  I'm basing whether to bring my boys primarily on whether Wheresdib brings his, so now I guess I won't. --[[User:Lkseitz|Lkseitz]] 08:29, 4 March 2009 (PST)
*** Plan on a Sunday brunch at Silvertron. I'll send out an e-mail and make arrangements. Kids are tolerated graciously. --[[User:Dystopos|Dystopos]] 20:11, 7 March 2009 (PST)
**** Thanks, but I can't guarantee my boys will tolerate the adults graciously. :-)  Hannah will be joining us, however. --[[User:Lkseitz|Lkseitz]] 08:47, 9 March 2009 (PDT)

===Details===
* Date: Sunday March 15
* Time: 12:00 PM
* Place: Silvertron Cafe in Forest Park
* Confirmed attendees (6.5):
:: User:Dystopos
:: User:Wheresdib (+Amy)
:: User:Lkseitz (+Dorothy & Hannah)
:: <strike>User:Graham Boettcher</strike>
:: User:Alarob
** Hannah's only 6 months old and won't be ordering, so we'll count her as a half.
*** Graham says he has a cold and can't make it. I was counting him as 1.5.
 
===Results===
* Thanks everybody for coming out. Nice to meet Rob, Dorothy and Hannah for the first time. --[[User:Dystopos|Dystopos]] 12:33, 15 March 2009 (PDT)
** Thanks for having us.  It was nice to see y'all again and nice to meet Rob. --[[User:Lkseitz|Lkseitz]] 20:21, 15 March 2009 (PDT)
 
==Fair use templates==
I'm considering re-engineering our image templates a bit. I think we could go with one "Fair Use" template for all types of media. At the same time it's nice to be able to bring up galleries of just logos, seals, postcards, advertisements, cd covers, etc. Therefore I propose two kinds of image templates: one for copyright status (public domain, cc, fair use, by permission) and one for the type of art (logo, portrait, photograph, film still, postcard, stamp, cd cover, book cover, magazine cover, screen shot, advertisement, trading card, etc). Any discussion before I start trudging through the dirty work? --[[User:Dystopos|Dystopos]] 12:33, 16 February 2009 (PST)
* It occurs to me that some source-specific templates would be nice, too. Especially with regard to BPL Digital Archives. Maybe that template should have fields for item identifier, collection, permanent URL, etc. --[[User:Dystopos|Dystopos]] 12:36, 16 February 2009 (PST)
** These sound like good ideas!  Beyond the work to implement it with existing items, I don't see an immediate downside to splitting the templates.  Some vague thought of being annoyed at creating yet another Fair Use template crossed my mind with the post card one, but I was too busy trying to get it done to worry about it too much.  A template for the BPL images does sound like a no-brainer (as in the need, not the implementation).  I'll see what I can do when I have the time (if no one beats me to it). --[[User:Lkseitz|Lkseitz]] 08:00, 17 February 2009 (PST)
*** I've done a good bit of the work, (See [[:Category:Seals]], [[:Category:Postcards]], etc). It wasn't as laborious as I thought it might be. --[[User:Dystopos|Dystopos]] 13:59, 9 March 2009 (PDT)
**** I finally did a [[Template:BPL permission|couple]] [[Template:BPL permission caption|templates]] for BPL images.  Thought I'd solicit feedback before going through and updating all the photos. --[[User:Lkseitz|Lkseitz]] 09:41, 11 March 2009 (PDT)
***** Those look pretty cool to me. --[[User:Dystopos|Dystopos]] 10:50, 11 March 2009 (PDT)
 
==Facebook==
* Everyone who looks here already knows, but for the record I've started a [http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=57183139226 Facebook group] to facilitate communication between editors, users and supporters of Bhamwiki. --[[User:Dystopos|Dystopos]] 09:08, 15 March 2009 (PDT)
