Count me in as a volunteer also if I can wrangle some food/drink sponsors
let me know.

Hi folks,
In response to Moray's prompting on d-d-a, I'm writing to confirm that
we are interested in putting forth a bid to host DebConf14 in
Portland, OR.
http://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf14/Portland
The bid page is still a bit light on logistical details, but we have a
prospective lead on space associated with Portland State University
which we believe would be a good fit for a DebConf.
I know the bid process for this year is generally behind schedule.
Can the DebConf team please provide a deadline for completion of
<https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/LocationCheckList> for Portland to be
considered?
Wow! If DC14 were to happen in Portland, maybe I'd get over my social
anxiety quirks and finally meet some of you fine people, get involved,
perhaps as a developer, and perhaps one day fulfil my fantasy of
traveling to exotic venues of future DebConfs. Ha! Really I ought to
meet you folks at a BSP or Lucky Lab one of these days, irregardless.
Count me in as a volunteer, a year in advance. I don't have any
connection to PSU, so don't know how helpful I can be other than labor.
Perhaps monitor debconf IRC and mailing lists and offer to help at any
opportunity.
Introduction: I'm a lurker, and not connected to Debian in any official
way other than having been a user since way back in 0.93/pre-toy-story
times, Debian is my "daily driver" at work and home, laptops, a bunch of
Xen hosts at the Pittock building. Work in software development (Java,
telecom), consumes me, I should have plenty of spare time to give back
to Debian other than the odd bug report/patch, but you know how it is
when your career and hobbies overlap, my off-hours are usually wasted on
relaxation and libations ;-)
