I think that the OLPC folks from OSU will be going up to the Portland Barcamp
http://www.barcamp.org/BarCampPortland On May 11,12 I encourage you to come to Barcamp I think it will be an interesting time. Raven Says: I am pleased to announce that BarCamp is coming to Portland on May 11-12! We will also be kicking off the regular DemoCamp event series during BarCamp to highlight tech startup activity in the Portland area. Tech + Geek + Culture. The event for the Portland tech community, produced BY the Portland tech community. What is BarCamp? It is an ad-hoc gathering born from the desire for people to share and learn in an open environment. It is an intense event with discussions, demos, and interaction from participants. BarCamp is a FREE event and the content is determined by the attendees. The event will be hosted at CubeSpace, which has a number of conference rooms for breakout sessions, a large main meeting area, wireless access, easy access to public transportation, bike storage, and ample parking. Thanks to Eva and David at CubeSpace for signing up as space sponsors for the event (and to Ray at AboutUs for sponsoring the additional space costs). We need your help to make BarCamp Portland a fantastic event for the tech community in Portland. Here's what you can do... 1) Forward this email on to people in the Portland area that may have an interest in attending. As we have done little marketing of the event (so far), assume that your local tech social network doesn't know about it yet. 2) If you have not already added yourself to the BarCamp Portland wiki page as an attendee, please do so. This will help us get a more accurate attendance count and plan accordingly (you want food, right?): http://barcamp.org/BarCampPortland 3) Add a session idea for the event. This could be a talk, a demo, a roundtable discussions - whatever! Please add it to the Proposed Sessions section on the wiki page: http://barcamp.org/BarCampPortland 4) Attend the BarCamp Portland Meetup this Thursday (03/22) evening 5:30-8pm at Jive Software downtown. Free beer on tap (thanks, Jive!), the opportunity to network with the tech community in Portland, and help plan for BarCamp Portland. More details: http://barcamp.org/BarCampPortlandMeetups 5) Help identify sponsors. CubeSpace and AboutUs are already onboard as sponsors for the space and related costs (and Jive Software has been our ongoing meetup and planning sponsor). We are looking for sponsors to cover food, drinks, and t-shirts. I hope to see you this Thursday evening at Jive Software for our monthly tech meetup and BarCamp Portland planning meeting! PS: If this isn't your type of thing and you want off my BarCamp Portland mailing list, please reply to this email. I will only do a few mailings before the event in May (and this list will never be used for commercial purposes).
