While I was visiting Portland last month, I had a chance to check out a DorkbotPDX meeting.
This meeting was unlike any other Dorkbot I have seen before (in San Francisco and Austin). Instead of formal presentations, everyone shows up at a cafe/coffee shop called Backspace (that serves beer!) and brings a project to work on or show and tell. And, instead of meeting once a month, they meet every other week!
It was awesome.
I didn’t get to take very many pictures, but I just uploaded a few photos to Flickr.
Glad you were able to come by! While this is the format of our regular bi-weekly meetings, we also have had the more structured, presentation-style events in the past and will likely do those again in the future. But this is the core of what keeps our group active and lively. It seems to work really well. ;~)
Thomas –
Sorry I missed you! Whatever you are doing, it seems to be working.
I hope to make it to another Dorkbot PDX meeting in the future. I’ll definitely say hi next time.
Keep up the good work!
Jeff
