PTP participated today in the local incarnation of a world wide event,
called One Web Day.  It was held at Pioneer Courthouse Square in
downtown Portland.  On a mundane level, I was on the organizing
committee and took responsibility for setting up the network (I got
some great help from Peter at EasyStreet and Adam from the City of
Portland).  We used an Alix I got last week from NetGate and a 24-port
switch I got from FreeGeek on Saturday for $10.

I also got the chance to talk to numerous people and had some
excellent interactions.  Michael Weinberg was one of the featured
speakers and gave a great speech about where Portland is and where it
needs to go.  Portland Community Media was there and filmed the event
until about 1pm.  It was recorded and available on line here:

I was briefly interviewed about PTP starting at about 45m47s to 48m13s
into the stream.  

The speeches start at about 1h08m.  Michael Weinberg's wonderful
speech starts at 1h20m50s and runs about 5 minutes.
