We're available Apr 28-29 and May 5-6. The beginning of May might be easier for us but it's not a big deal. :-) On Mon, 29 Jan 2018 at 13:45 Steve Langasek wrote: > On Mon, Jan 29, 2018 at 01:04:39PM -0800, Benjamin Kerensa wrote: > > When would you be available Steve? > > I'm unavailable the fi

In the past my experience has been install parties are not very successful up here so i might suggest just hanging out discussing new features in the release and having a good community building opportunity. So what say we $100 weekend rental of the guest room? https://luckylab.com/hawthorne-brew-

I think that's probably about as much as we'd see, yes. I think there's probably more folks who would come that are in PDX. Maybe if we circulate this around local meetups and like minded groups, perhaps we can get a little more draw. But yeah, I can't imagine it being too huge. Should we take thi

Sorry about that! So with release date on April 26th it might make sense to do the 28th and my guess is since we have not done events in Portland for some years turnout might be light but perhaps around 15-20 people. If we wanted we could meet at the Lucky Labrador on Hawthorne it is a large space

I guess we should figure out a venue first and then put up an rsvp to gauge how many would turnout then we’d have a idea for food and beverage and maybe some swag. Let me reach out about a venue now. What date are we thinking? What would work best for folks? On Mon, Jan 29, 2018 at 7:45 AM Walter
