Earlier this summer we released our previously commercial CMS as fully "Free Beer" under the MIT open source license. The second half of 2008 was a whirlwind for us as we were named project of the month on SourceForge and saw traffic go through the roof.

As part of running what promises to be the next Drupal, local user groups are going to be a huge component to our success. We have several starting around the states and Europe this month, with the Portland one obviously being super keen as this is our home turf.

Please join us at Hopworks on SE Powell on Jan 8th at 5pm - till late. Check out the project at http://concrete5.org RSVP at: http://www.concrete5.org/community/members/portland_or/

Show and Tell your concrete5 projects with other interactive media professionals. We'll meet at the lucky lab on SE Hawthrone for a meet and greet at 5pm, which will turn into a more formal show and tell at 6pm. If you've built something with concrete5, we invite you to show it off for 5 minutes and do some Q&A with your fellow developers. We'll orchestrate the evening and show off some of our recent projects and current development progress as well.
