Portland Oregon BarCamp

I went to the last organizing meeting for this. It looks to be quite a bit of fun.

Don’t forget to remind all of your techie friends 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.

How can you help promote BarCamp Portland?
- email your friends (you may find the text below helpful)
- add a button to your blog http://barcamp.org/BarcampPortlandChiclet
- hand out some flyers at local events http://barcamp.org/BarCampPortlandFlyers

More about the event for use in emails, etc …

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.

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?):

3) Add a session idea for the event. This could be a talk, a demo, a
roundtable discussion - whatever! Please add it to the Proposed
Sessions section on the wiki page:

4) Attend the BarCamp Portland Meetup this Thursday (04/26/07) 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:
