MondayAug 3 2026Code & Coffee - Beaverton–
Fly ChaiWebsiteCode & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session: drink your beverage of choice, bring your laptop, and hang out with your peers! Have engaging conversations, or focus on work or projects. This is a great opportunity to learn from others, share your knowledge, and possibly collaborate on side projects, online courses, or even your day-to-day work.
---- Schedule ----
You're welcome to drop in anytime during the event. We understand that everyone may have external commitments and challenges - join us when you can!
We have informal unscheduled introductions - practice your personal elevator pitch, or take things slower to build your confidence.
---- Venue ----
Fly Chai allow us to informally and freely use their space. If within your budget, we'd appreciate your help to sustain our use of the venue, by purchasing something tasty, whether Chai or otherwise.
Find us at tables with a Code&Coffee sign - or a clump of laptop-users!
Wifi and power outlets are available. Our meeting area should be accessible - please let us know if not.
---- What to expect ----
Smaller events than you may be used to, with a mixed crowd week-to-week. We expect this is likely due to us meeting weekly, at a less central location.
These may result in what you're looking for:
A smaller, less intimidating, lower pressure, cozy atmosphere. A mix of regular and new faces. A simpler schedule - every week, same time, same place - that you can drop into when you like. Being closer to you than other events.Whether those are generally or partly to your liking, we hope you'll consider dropping by sometime!
---- Getting to the venue ----
Look for the venue on the meetup Google map, or alternatives like OpenStreetMap.
-- Driving --
There are limited parking spaces on a lot outside the venue (4+1 accessible), with more in the surrounding area.
-- Transit options --
Beaverton Central (Red/Blue MAX), then walk~ 8 minutes
Beaverton Transit Center (Red/Blue MAX, bus, WES) then walk ~11 minutes
For a shorter walk to the venue, take a bus from Beaverton Transit Center (52 to Farmington/Hall, 76 to Watson/Broadway, 57 to Canyon/Watson)

ThursdayAug 6 2026Ai for Nonprofits - PortlandWebsite
RSVP for the very first meetup of AI for Nonprofits - Portland.
Ninety minutes, and the shape every month after will be the same:
• Short talks (5 minutes): someone shows one thing that actually worked - a prompt that improved a real donor letter, a privacy rule a real board adopted. Real work, shown working. No slides required.
• One deeper conversation: this month - what we're actually using AI for and where we've drawn the line. Small groups, honest notes.
• Field Notes follow up: within two days, everyone gets the write-up from the meetup. Prompts discussed, ideas shared, and more. Lessons travel; names don't.
Bring one thing you've learned, or one thing you're trying to understand.
You do not need to be an AI person.
Free, no vendor pitches, no technical background needed. We wrap at 12:30 - conversations that want to keep going can move out to Pioneer Courthouse Square.
Questions, or something you'd like presented for you (anonymously is fine): [email protected]
This event will be co-hosted by Weston Cox (TomorrowLabs) and Surj (PunkWorks) - both human-centered technologists with experience in nonprofits and mission-driven organizations.

Portland Linux/Unix Group General Monthly Meeting: Installing OpenWrt on Realtek-based managed switches, with Russell Senior
WebsiteSummary:
Russell will talk about OpenWrt on Realtek-based switches, like the EnGenius EWS2910P and Zyxel GS1900 line of managed switches. Some devices provide Power over Ethernet with port-level control. The talk will include some fun demonstrations of installation and reverse engineering.
Bio:
Russell has been a Linux user since December 1992. Since 2005, he's been involved with the Personal Telco Project, and has been the President of that organization since 2009, building public-access wifi networks and advocating for better telecommunications policy. He's also been active in an effort to energize political support for a public fiber-optic last-mile network in Portland in order to break the monopoly power of the deregulated incumbent carriers. In recent years, he's become more active in recruiting speakers for PLUG, kind of accidentally falling into the coordinator role as Michael Dexter stepped back. This talk represents a failure to find a better speaker, not only Russell's failure, but the failure of the entire PLUG community. Shame on one and all! ;-)
