We're happy to announce that there's a new user group in Portland that's dedicated to increasing visibility, promotion and interconnectedness of the local open-source movement and participants thereof. This group is not limited to software and encourages participation of anyone from musicians to government planners. Please read the mission statement on our website: http://librepdx.org/

Our kickoff event is to bring together people who are interested in taking an active role within the group, particularly people who are stoked about our mission and want to help network with others in the community. If you cannot physically attend, we encourage you to participate via our Etherpad for part or all of the event: https://notes.typo3.org/p/LibrePDX_Website

2-5 pm: Software/website-focused hacking and resource collection

5-7 pm: Main event, brainstorming, next steps

7-* pm: Beer and article writing for publication @ Tugboat (711 SW Ankeny St) ...what could possibly go wrong

If you have any questions regarding venue or mission, please contact Daniel @ 503-453-7535 or [email protected].

LibrePDX is a community with the common belief that great things are achieved through cooperation, accessibility and a strong supporting foundation. We believe that the open-source movement embodies these characteristics and helps strengthen some of the most positive qualities of a functioning society.

LibrePDX is a flat, non-legal do-ocracy focused around increasing visibility and connectedness of all things relating to the open-source model of development and community building. If you have a idea, share it! If you can do something, do it! If someone has your idea, join them! You can't fail if you volunteer, you can only learn.
