Also pleased to report this is more people than the first Ottawa Tweetup that I could find (9) at Patty Bolands Pub way back in the day.

RIP Patty Bolands …

I'm pleased to report that we had fourteen folks show up for the #OttawaMeetup, proving that if you say you'll stand in a park in an orange shirt, people will come. No, I will not stand on the picnic table. 🤣

Thank you to all who took time out of their weekend to come out and say hello in meatspace. Even got a group photo of those who were willing.

Uncertain if we are all axe murderers on good behaviour. …or just good folk who care about community. 🖖🏻

Spoke to my millennial daughters yesterday and told them I might be meeting up with strangers off the web on Saturday. I’m now being tracked by both of them and I got a stern talking to about stranger danger. 🤣 #OttawaMeetUp. #Ottawa #StrangerDanger

Just noticed I set the poll length to one day. I'll change it to 7 day for better data, hope this doesn't reset the counts. #Ottawa #Mastodon #AutoWa #OttBike #OttawaMeetUp
[edit Whew, it didn't reset the counts]

Hey #Ottawa!

How would you like to have a #Mastodon of Ottawa meet-up on Saturday, May 30th, with a rain day of Sunday the 31st?

Location: I wanted something outdoors, with shade, picnic tables, easy access via LRT, bike paths, and parking for #AutoWa users.

I'm thinking a bring-you-own picnic type event, so I'm suggesting the two parks in the poll. Please vote for both if you are fine with either.
