IPFS Meetup in Portland

[daviddias]

Following https://twitter.com/ipfsbot/status/650873591400112128 I've created again the Portland IPFS meetup on meetup.com http://www.meetup.com/IPFS-Portland.

The last one was lost due to meetup.com policies (they have a 72 hours policy to delete the meetup if they find the information of the meetup incomplete, and since the notification went to the ipfsbot account, no one checked it on time :( )

@kyledrake To add you as a co-org, I need you to join the meetup first :)

@diasdavid howdy! Sorry, didn't realize you had already tried setting up a meetup in Portland. I just added this event to Calagator (http://calagator.org) for Wednesday 14 Oct http://calagator.org/events/1250469161

I don't use Meetup that much, but I'm on there. Do you want to set up this event there?

[daviddias]

@brixen I've added you as a co-organizer in meetup.com. Meetup.com has proved to be a good tool to let local people know of a meetup, specially when we come to a place that we don't know a lot of people the community. We don't enforce any rules of what tools or structure an IPFS meetup should be organized, feel free to stick with Calagator only or create the meetup in meetup.com, in my opinion, it won't hurt and might reach some folks that otherwise wouldn't know about it.

Calagator is how events are organized in Portland, but meetup won't hurt as a secondary thing.

I'd cross post to all the things. Bigger audience!

[daviddias]

So, hey, apparently I found myself in Portland, I can attend as well :)

[brixen]

@diasdavid awesome! How long are you around?

[daviddias]

@brixen I don't have any flight out yet, but I will probably leave Thursday or Friday :)

[brixen]

@diasdavid cool, hit me up if you need anything.

[bcomnes]

[daviddias]

[kyledrake]
