The San Diego Wikimedians User Group, an affiliate of the Wikimedia Foundation, will be giving a short tutorial on getting started with Wikipedia. Afterwards, we will begin editing! Computers will be available. Attendees may bring their own WiFi-enabled devices if they so desire, though in-room outlet space may be limited.
The Padres will be playing at nearby Petco Park on October 24th. The Library parking garage will have elevated parking rates from 3-6pm. In addition, due to the popularity of these games, the Library parking garage may fill completely. It is highly recommended that attendees utilize other forms of transportation than driving.
Attendees might consider:
- Taking the Bus
- Please see this link for bus routes.
- Utilizing FRED Circuit (Free Ride Everywhere Downtown)
- Park downtown (far away from the Stadium!) and use the app to get a free ride to the library. Please note that this can take some time.
- Park in another lot shown on this map. (The green lots are generally the cheapest, but as this is a big game for the Padres, these lots may be full.)
- Ride share or take a taxi using your preferred company.
- Take the Trolley
- Take the Blue Line or Orange Line to Park & Market Trolley Station, or the Green Line to Imperial Transit Center.
