Good news is I can semi-officially devote time to this as part of my duties for tenth anniversary organizing. Including acquiring some awesome swag. Bad news is there are 30 other events I have to keep tabs on, so I won't be able to get too hands on.
I'm in for an IRC meeting on Saturday, and if that's settled I will let Portland wiki folks know too.
