Access Notes

You'll need to check in with the Mozilla office front desk, on the third floor. The elevators lock at 6pm, but when there's an evening event scheduled, they should stay open until 7pm.

PLEASE NOTE THAT LOCATION HAS CHANGED FROM THE LAST MEETING- We will be meeting at Mozilla instead of the Portland Art Institute. Also, please note: If you arrive after 7:00 pm, you will not be able to get into the building. Please plan to arrive at least a few minutes before then, as there won't be anyone downstairs to let you in. !
