Indeed "often" does mean that, pretty much, however my knowledge of
Virgin Media's infrastructure is limited to the half of it that was
Telewest, and even there is not great. ADSL is indeed a different
kettle of fish, often hitting a BT DSLAM (IIRC) at the exchange then

Pretty much all Weatherspoons have free WiFi, it's just that the one
we go to in London has very poor free WiFi and we often can't get it
to work. That's n

Also: to be honest, it's a little difficult to see how WMUK can give much
support to meetups. They're volunteer-led, advertised on-wiki, and don't really
need anything to support them to make

This is definitely something we need to start thinking about. Thus far,
whenever I've posted geonotices I've gone for a large area as there haven't
been many events happening in the UK - sufficiently few that I believe some
wikimedians will deem it worthwhile traveling a long way for them (e.g.
unton (not that we have done one there yet)?

The reason I'm concerned is that we already use geonotices quite heavily and
will probably use them even more in the future. While there is no financial
cost to the geonotices (obviously) there is an opportunity cost and a cost
in terms of the attention they require - we should bear this in mind. I
Depends on the ISP, and, moreover, it depends on the granularity of
information they provide. Most ADSL ISPs seem to enjoy churning IP
addresses every 24 hours (possibly small hours resets of their exchange

Chris,
Currently geo-targeting is only accurate to country level (due to ISPs
randomly moving IPs around within a country - Magnus, is that correct?), so
the only surefire way of targeting all of Cambridge is to scoop up all of
the UK, unfortunately.

I have implemented my own suggestion and restricted the notice to a box more
defined by Lincoln and Southend - I hope that is OK with people, I'm just a

careful not to tell the whole of the UK about every event happening in t
Can I suggest some rather tighter geotargeting for that notice - at the
moment it appears to aim at every Wikipedian in a box with Belfast and
Calais as its opposite corners
