    Oh, excellent, I've been thinking we needed something like this. Will pass along!

    Is there a way to get included on a mailing list? I want to play, but I don't live in Portland, yet.
  • ahockley · 11 months ago
    Not sure about a mailing list, but we'll be talking about setting up a blog for sure.

    I'm going to try to make it, I live in Longview.
  • CamiKaos · 11 months ago
    excellent. I hope I'll be able to make it. :)

    Will this be a "power users" group? Would it be over the head of newbies? Think I might invite a client, but don't want to scare her off with Portland geekatude. ;-)

    Part of what we'll discuss at the first meeting is the direction of the group, but in my mind we'll feature a variety of topics, some of which are going to be more advanced and some of which will be fairly basic. One of the ideas I have (and would like to see happen) is that every month there will be a couple folks setup specifically to provide help for questions or problems people might be having... it would be a great resource for newbies.

    In short... definitely invite your client... I hope it's a learning experience for all.

    So since you're not competing with Beer and Blog, I take it there won't be any of the former?

    How about whisky instead? Could call it WordPress and Whisky™.

    On it like bacon. :D

    Beer and Blog is really more of the Portland tech scene happy hour anyway. We're also going to do more with other platforms as well. Totally stoked about this user group and will be attending the first meet up!
