Wikimedia Developer Summit/2016/Dinner sign-up

On Monday evening we will be splitting up into small groups, ideally between 6 and 12 people. These small groups will head out to different restaurants around the city.

Sign up below for a spot in a group!

Notes for group leaders:

 * Each group will need a WMF staff or contractor leading the group to help facilitate the reimbursement process. The WMF employee will submit their receipt with an expense report after the dinner.
 * Please make sure to include an itemized receipt with the names of everyone in attendance on the back.
 * Please keep your costs low. There is a $20-$30 USD per person maximum. If your group exceeds this amount, please have the group cover the rest on their own.
 * You should take care of any reservations needed on your own or get in touch with the Engineering Administration team for help.
 * Busses will drop conference attendees off in front of WMF around 5:30pm.
 * Example of past small group dinners.

Sign up here!
Tip: try to sign up for a group full of people or with a group leader that you don't know every well!

Dinner Leader: RobLa
Restaurant Name: A later burrito/taco run to the Mission (RobLa's choice: Taqueria El Farolito, 2779 Mission Street)

Type of food: Mexican

Menu: Depends on who shows up and where we decide to go. Taqueria El Farolito has great classic meat options. Taqueria Cancun is a good vegetarian option from what I hear. 538 says La Taqueria is the best in the country (and does have good tacos). Papalote has a good reputation for salsa (and vegetarian options). Vegetarians should probably go in Anne's earlier Gracias Madre run.

Meet and Transport: Default option: meet at the office on 3 South. We'll leave the office at 6:30pm, start walking to BART, then take BART to 24 Mission. Sign up below if you don't want to be left behind.

Total Diners: 10-ish.
