Hosting the Virtual hackathon meetup for Europe/Africa

Hi 1Veertje. Thanks for signing up for the L2 Research Hackathon. You're the first to sign up for the virtual meetup for Europe/Africa. I'm contacting you now in hope that you'd be willing to take on the role of "host" for the event. As host you'd need to:

1. Set an agenda for the meetup
2. Coordinate attendees and help them connect via IRC (or however you'd prefer to connect)
3. (optional) Coordinate with other hosts to synchronize via video conference

If you're interested, I'm happy to lend you substantial support. Either way, I'm stoked that you're participating. Thanks! --EpochFail (talk) 14:37, 21 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi, maybe it's a bit useless to be my own host. I'll wait to see if anyone else signs up. --Vera (talk) 11:59, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

I will probably go to my college's reunion in the afternoon so will be useless as a host. --Vera (talk) 20:33, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

Your signature

Hello! I saw with this edit you are using a template for your signature. This is not good because first of all, using a non-standard format means bots may not be able to parse it. More importantly, if you use a template it is vulnerable to vandalism. E.g. one could put something offensive in User:1Veertje/h and it would show up everywhere you've signed! You could substitute the template when signing (as with {{subst:User:1Veertje/h}}), but still someone could vandalize User:1Veertje/h without you knowing and it would show up. For this reason it is best to put your full signature directly in Special:Preferences.

This issue is not well-documented here on Meta, but you can read more about it on enwiki at w:en:WP:SIG#NoTemplates.

Just a friendly suggestion :) Best — MusikAnimal ^talk 17:05, 19 November 2017 (UTC)

Unrelated... I just realized that we have met before! It was at Wikimania in Montreal, I believe? I was the tall guy with the upper arm tattoo. Sorry I don't have any photos of me, if you were curious. Anyway it is nice to talk to you again! :) — MusikAnimal ^talk 23:51, 19 November 2017 (UTC)

Hi, I'm sorry I can't quite place you. There are a lot of people at Wikimania --Vera (talk) 09:33, 20 November 2017 (UTC)
