Thanks for the great feedback everyone, and I'm excited to hear there are already people working on a new pdxpython site!
I'll let my friend know this is a valid place to post contracting gigs, but I do hope the pdxpython is able to leverage some of the already great resources mentioned in this thread for gigs/mentoring. The more that communities like ours link to those resources the easier they will be to find by all! Thanks again.
