Lotus Card Room & Cafe

Our scheduled Hack Night has been cancelled due to lack of a place, so this evening, we are just meeting for drinks at the Lotus, and talk about a Hack Night for next month.

Join us in planning this year's WhereCampPDX, happening October 12th-14th.

This week we're meeting at the Lotus Room to check out the banquet room space as possible overflow for next week's kick-off party.

About the event:

WhereCampPDX is an annual unconference for all things related to geography, cartography, and how we interact with the world. Past topics have include strange maps, open source GIS tools, and geo-locative games.

We need your help to make this event happen! Please join us Wednesday to find out about volunteering, sponsoring, or otherwise participating in making this year's WhereCampPDX awesome.

A free no-host open discussion forum for Agile practitioners in the downtown Portland area open to anyone who can get here. Discussion topics are selected from the AgilePDX mailing list or on the fly as the group convenes.

Every month MiPL has a "Mingler" evening which is just for hanging out at a bar, meeting new members and other MiPL friends. This is very relaxed, friendly and informal - so just come along for a drink or few and meet new people -- because this is what it's all about!

  April's Mingler will be at the newly non-smoking Lotus Room! The recent MiPL Goth Pub Crawl stopped in here, as has the Portland Urban Iditarod in previous years. The Lotus Room is a great space with a dark wood 'real bar' feel - and those of us who got food here during the Goth Pub Crawl were really impressed, if you're up for some dinner as well. They're excited to have us, and will be doing a drinks special just for the Mingler - details to be updated nearer to the time.

  If this is your first MiPL event, feel free to come find me or anyone wearing a Welcome Wagon button when you arrive - we'll be looking out for new faces too. MiPL folks are a really friendly bunch, so don't be shy about introducing yourself!

  Incidentally - admittedly “Mingler” may sound a bit like it’s a singles’ mixer - but it most assuredly is not! This and all other events are for meeting people and making friends, so whether you’re single, coupled, married - you’re very, very welcome.
