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&#39;m thinking a bring-you-own picnic type event, so I&#39;m suggesting the two parks in the poll. Please vote for both if you are fine with either.

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]

Two photos for reference if you aren't familiar with either park. #Ottawa #Mastodon #AutoWa #OttBike #OttawaMeetUp

@WTL That sounds fun! Haven’t been making plans that far out yet, but I’m definitely interested 😃

@WTL I like both, the only question will be, am in parent mode?

@WTL The two main contenders are both good for me.

@WTL Oh I didn't realise I could vote for both. I got fooled. So yes either is fine.

@WTL selfishly, Strathcona is way easier for me to get to so I voted for that one 😄

@WTL Alas, I must send regrets (health/disability issues) but I'll be following the upcoming toots with great interest!

@WTL that's a weekend I have my kids, so any planned outing may be aborted at the last second if someone is sick/tired/angry/sees a cool rock, but I'd love to try and make it!

@WTL Cool initiative! The timing will be the main thing. My daughter's gymnastics class means I'm liable to be unavailable from about 12:00 to 2pm, which feels like picnic time. But given this lead time, maybe something can be worked out.

@WTL As recompense for my absence, here's a cycling map!
