For those who weren't on IRC this afternoon, DebConf14 will take place in Portland, OR. We're looking at dates in August 2014 and hosting at Portland State University. The great thing is, PSU is going to make our hosting jobs ridiculously easy. But, there's still going to be work to do, and plenty of it. We'll definitely want volunteers handling everything from helping us develop our informational pages (how to get to the University from the airport, where to eat outside of university, what to do outside of conference times, where to get information about public transportation, etc.) and cleaning up those informational pages (especially if I'm involved in writing them!) to helping to ensure network infrastructure meets the heavy demands of 300+ Debian developers hacking away. If you're not already joined to the IRC channel, #debian-pdx on OFTC, please join us. Drop any of us an email (privately or on list!) if you'd like to be involved, but just don't know what you want to do and we'll gladly offer suggestions. For now, I think we need to plan a beering to celebrate! -- ---------------------------------------------------------- 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.
