Meeting-20140809

It's that time of year again! WPLUG's 13th annual Open Source Picnic will take place in North Park on August 9, 2014 from 1:00-6:00 p.m. In the spirit of open source collaboration, we invite everyone to help make our picnic a success by bringing food, inviting people, and organizing activities for the day. Bring your friends! Invite the whole family!

(That's our only rule for the day, incidentally: everything must be family-friendly. No booze; nothing scandalous.)

The more people participate, the more successful we'll be. If you'd like to pitch in, add your name to one of the lists below. Be sure to RSVP for your entire party (including guests) at Eventbrite. You need to do this even if you've signed up below.

Setup

Hanging signs, setting up pic-a-nic tables, and chasing away pesky critters. Please show up at 12:30.

Food/Drinks

Try to be considerate of people with food allergies (listed below). If you pack something that somebody can't eat, tossing in something extra for them would be very nice!

• WPLUG will provide some picnic snacks and beverages, but we're not in a position to provide enough this year to feed everyone. So if you can, please do bring a dish or beverage to share, and note your plans here!

Food Allergies

We cannot guarantee that people bringing food will accommodate your dietary restrictions. If it looks like your choices will be limited, pack something for yourself - or better yet, bring enough for everyone so we can try something new!
