- @RightCowLeftCoast: Done, and thanks for giving me a block of code that I can copy and paste. I've added the date to the message text. I'm a bit confused by the event details though: is everyone invited to join the park meetup as well? Deryck C. 13:43, 14 September 2021 (UTC)
- @Deryck Chan: Sorry for the late reply. It was a successful event, with about a dozen public interactions, and an editor who has not been to an in-person event come by. The zoom call was open to all who could call in, but there were multiple persons on the call who had technical issues, and were hard to interact with. While the in-person event is open to anyone who wanted to travel down, I did not expect many to do that.--RightCowLeftCoast (Moo) 20:20, 18 October 2021 (UTC)
