DC14 Day Trip Ideas

by Patty Langasek

I've been kicking around 1 day trip idea that keeps growing on me more and more and more to the point that I'm starting to obsess on it. So, before I become married and inseparable from the idea, I want to get other peoples' thoughts, have some time to accept criticism and see if anyone Knows People to help make something like this happen affordably (Remember, we're Debian). I'd really like to split the day in 2 and have the first part of the day to mid-afternoon spent in the Columbia River Gorge with very light hiking (for those who want it), a tour of a few of the falls (including Multnomah, of course) and a stop by the Vista House. (And a picnic lunch because it'll be *August*.) >From there, trek people up to Mt Hood and let those who want to wander and hike the Timberline trails do so, and hopefully have our formal dinner there. The views from the lodge are breathtaking, and the drinks are awesome. (I mean, um.) I have requested information from Timberline to get a quote on what a dinner for our group size could be (estimating 350ish), and have kinda glanced for tour groups for the gorge, and tried not to cry when I saw the prices per person. I don't think we'd need a *tour*, but I guess we'd also have to look up what we'd have to be responsible for if we just arranged a bunch of buses to wander around the Scenic Highway. The idea is to do this in the middle of the week, so traffic and outrageous numbers of people shouldn't be that much of an issue. (Maybe. Hopefully.) Anyway. Ideas? Thoughts? Do I go back to the drawing board on this? p -- ---------------------------------------------------------- Patty Langasek harmoney(a)dodds.net ---------------------------------------------------------- At times, you may end up far away from home; you may not be sure of where you belong, anymore.

gearing up for DebConf14 sponsorship

by Allison Randal

Hi all, We're going to begin reaching out to potential sponsors for DebConf14 in November, and are starting to compile a list of possible local sponsors from Portland, as well as remote sponsors with a general interest in Debian. If you have any suggestions, drop a note to me or Benjamin Kerensa (or on IRC, in person, etc) We're also looking for one more local volunteer to participate in the sponsors-team, so let us know if you're interested, or know others who might be interested. Thanks! Allison
