The Open Source Bridge team is having a second Town Hall meeting for interested volunteers on November 6, 2008, 11:30am-1pm, at the Open Technology Business Center (OTBC). We’re gathering at its new location 12725 SW Millikan Way, Suite 101, Beaverton, OR 97005 (example MAX route from Portland, drive from Portland to OTBC). Please RSVP!

If you take public transit (which we highly recommend), just get off at the Beaverton CENTRAL stop (not the transit center), and walk about 90 feet into the building called The Round, which should be clearly marked. If you run into problems finding it, try giving OTBC a call at 971-223-4660.

This is a brown-bag affair, so please remember to bring a lunch!

Whether you can make it or not, subscribe to our mailing lists:

osbridgepdx-announce, low traffic announcement list for events like this one!

osbridgepdx-discuss, possibly high traffic list for discussing anything related to the conference!

Hope to see lots of you on Thursday! And please, invite your friends.

Update:

Here are a few more public transit tips from Steve Morris:

From downtown, take the Blue line to get to OTBC — because the Blue line goes all the way to the “Beaverton Central” stop. The Red line ends at the Beaverton Transit Center – just one stop before OTBC. (From the Beaverton Transit center to The Round is about a 5 minute walk, so someone who takes the Red line can either walk, or just switch to the Blue line at the transit center.)

Lots of people took notes and hopefully will publish blog entries. I’ll link them here as they come in. Feel free to pingback as well.

Open Source Bridge will be a completely volunteer-run, community effort to connect developers working with open source. We’re kicking things off with a town hall discussion and planning meeting on October 30th, 7:30pm at CubeSpace (located at 622 SE Grand Avenue in Portland). We’ll talk about overall goals for the conference, then break into small working groups to start tackling the event planning needs. If you can, bring an audio or video recorder to help document the discussion.

Please let us know if you can attend. If October 30 doesn’t work for you, let us know as we will be having a second meeting on the west-side. We’d very much like to have your participation in making this conference a fun, educational experience.
