Yet Another Beering Opportunity: ajt, Tuesday Aug 24 @ 7pm

by Steve Langasek

Hey all, Well, the post-DebConf travel season is not yet over. :) Anthony Towns, former Debian Project Leader and all around hoopy frood, is stopping by Portland this week on his way back from New York. I therefore propose a gathering of people and drinking of beverages, as is my wont. Since he's arriving Monday evening and leaving sometime Wednesday-ish, Tuesday is the optimal day to get together in the sense that it's a day that works at all. And 7pm tends to be a fair time for get-togethers. So I propose we get together this Tuesday, August 24 at 7pm at the Old Market Pub: 6959 S.W. Multnomah Blvd. Portland, OR 97223 http://www.drinkbeerhere.com/ "Why Old Market?" you ask? Well, because the one person beside AJ that I know can make it that night is me, and it's convenient for me to get to. :) Besides, I thought it was worth testing whether picking a different meeting point would work to draw out people that we don't usually see otherwise. (Also: shuffleboard!) But if there is anyone at all who wants to join us for whom this is too out of the way, *please* tell me and I'm more that happy to move this somewhere more central. Either way, please RSVP to me (on-list or off-list is fine) so I know whether we should plan to reserve a table that night.

Me! Rodrigo! Beer!

by Wouter Verhelst

Hi, (Yes, I know, it's probably pretty narcissistic to start a mail off by talking about myself, but hey) As of yesterday, I'm in the Portland area, visiting my cousin (Marian Verhelst) who lives with her husband and children in Beaverton. I'd love to meet some local debian people, and had sent a mail to -private suggesting we meet. Rodrigo Gallardo was the only person to reply to that mail, apart from a suggestion by Ben Hutchings that I try this list. Apparently Rodrigo isn't known yet in the local Debian community... So let's fix that, then. I had agreed with Rodrigo to meet this wednesday around 6:30 PM near the river, have a walk there, look a bit at the bridges etc, and then go to Bridgeport Brewery to check out the local beer. Anyone else interested in joining in would, of course, be welcome to do so. Of course, I'm also interested in other suggestions, in case people can't make it. Hey, I'm here to see the area :) In addition, at debconf, Manoj had suggested he might be interested in coming over from Seattle during the weekend, and meet up. While that doesn't sound like a bad idea, I should note that of course I'm here mainly to visit my cousin, and I can't be off with other people the _whole_ weekend -- I'll want to do something with them during that time, too, since they do have to go to work during the week. But beyond that, I'm happy to meet up either on saturday or on sunday. Just let me know 'soon' :-) Looking forward to see all of you, -- The biometric identification system at the gates of the CIA headquarters works because there's a guard with a large gun making sure no one is trying to fool the system. http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2009/01/biometrics.html

Lars Wirzenius in Town

by Patty Langasek

Lars Wirzenius (liw) is in town, but leaving on Monday. Monday evening, we'll be at Kennedy School[0] at 6pm to eat, drink, socialize and generally have a good time. Anyone who wants to come and can make it, please do. It would be nice, however, to have a headcount so I don't ask the waitress for a table for 8 and wind up with 20 people. ;) (Not that this has EVER happened to me before, EVER) Let me know, I'll make it happen.

laptops for debconf

by Vagrant Cascadian

i put in a request at freegeek for a few spare laptops to bring to debconf to loan to people who could use one. i'm not sure if the request will be approved, but figured i'd give it a shot. is anyone else in the portland area going to debconf who wouldn't mind lugging an extra laptop with them? if so, let me know soon; i'm leaving town this coming sunday (the 18th). live well, vagrant

[liw@liw.fi: Meet me in Portland, one-time-only!]

Forwarding a message from Lars Wirzenius, who a couple of you may know, regarding his upcoming trip to Portland. :) -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.

X-Mailer: Evolution 2.30.2 Hi there, I'm going to be in Portland next week, arriving late on the 20th and leaving in evening of the 26th. We'll be on our way from New Zealand via LA to New York, for the Debian conference. I'd love to meet people while I'm in Portland. Perhaps a dinner with Debian people, and other interested people, one evening? I have no idea about restaurants in Portland, so I'd like someone local to pick a place. I'm fine with lunch or dinner, or both, whatever is good for everyone else. (I'm not on the debian-portland-soc list, so please Cc me on replies. Thanks.) ----- End forwarded message -----

BSP Sunday May 23rd or 30th?

by Vagrant Cascadian

if folks were game, i could probably host another Bug Squashing Party at freegeek Sunday May 23rd or May 30th (i'm occupied most sundays till then). could pass around gpg fingerprints till we're drunk, while we're at it. there's also some folks at freegeek interested in doing cacert.org assuring, signing, auditing or whatever it is cacert folks tend to do. could do that at the same time, if you're into multitasking. live well, vagrant

BSP in Portland next weekend (22-24 Jan)?

by Steve Langasek

Hey all, There are a couple of BSPs happening around the world this coming weekend: http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2009/12/msg00000.html http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2010/01/msg00003.html I'd been thinking for a while about trying to have one here in Portland at the same time, but of course I didn't get around to emailing about it until now, and now time is short. :) Do others think this is a good idea? If so, does anyone have an idea where we could hold a BSP on short notice? -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
