Dear PLUG Members: For those who might not already be aware, DebConf14, the annual Debian Developer Conference, will be held right here in Portland this year. This is only the 2nd time that DebConf has taken place in North America, and we are very excited that it will be in Portland. The conference runs from August 23rd through August 31st and will be held at PSU. For those interested in attending please see the main conference page and wiki [1,2]. The local DebConf team would also like to welcome those who are interested in volunteering. This is a great opportunity to get involved with free software and help make a difference, even if coding is not your thing. We need a wide variety of talents to help pull everything together for the estimated 300 attendees, many of them international. For more information about participating on about the local team, please subscribe to the debconf14-team mailing list [3] and/or attend the local team planning meetings. The next local planning meeting will take place on June 17th @ 1830 at the Lucky Lab SE on Hawthorne. We look forward to seeing you at DebConf14! Cheers, tony mancill (on behalf of the local team) [1] http://debconf14.debconf.org/ [2] https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf14 [3] https://lists.debian.org/debconf14-team/
