Meet folks from the Portland Startups Slack IRL

We're back for another Happy Hour, this time at Wayfinder! Our newest organizers, Victoria Dower and Anatoliy Dzhuga will be your hosts for the evening. Victoria is a strategy, marketing, and operations wizard with tons of hardware experience, particularly in civic tech. Anatoliy is a stellar mechanical design engineer specializing in product development, and informal member.

Our monthly Hardware Meetups happen in 25+ cities around the world, bringing together hardware professionals to show projects, talk their businesses, and network with other engineers, entrepreneurs, designers, suppliers, and more. Whether you're a hardware pro or just hardware curious, we hope to see you there.

Bring demos! We'll have tables ready for you.

Thank you to our partners Kickstarter helps creative projects come to life. Backers have pledged over $6B to projects on our platform, helping artists, musicians, filmmakers, designers, and other creators make their ideas a reality.

informal is a freelance collective for the most talented independent professionals in hardware. Whether you're looking for a single contractor, a fractional consultant, a full-time employee, or an entire team, informal has the perfect collection of people for the job.

If you want to help support the next meetup, please reach out to [email protected] for sponsorship inquiries.

See you soon!

A meeting of folks interested in BSD operating systems and related technologies to get together, eat pizza, drink beer, and talk about what interesting things have been going on

Break into small teams! Build something awesome! Share the results!

At brightnight, we will start with a challenge, break into small groups, then create and code our ideas into existence! We will take the last 30 or so minutes of the night to show and tell. All skill levels are welcome. We'll code in Ruby but those who know other languages are welcome as well.

Come join us to enjoy some creative coding time where we all can learn from each other, try out wacky ideas and cultivate our skills in a fun, low-pressure environment.

New Relic is generously hosting this new event and providing food and refreshments.

It's been too long since we had folks over. And I swear, we somehow accumulated too much beer. ;) So we're having a drink night tomorrow (Thursday) from 6-8 pm. Come by, help us with our drink(ing) problem, and see some faces old and new.

Cheers!

Amy, Mark, Rachel, and Jacob.
