Sep 11, 2007: Jive Show and Tell Dinner
Jive is releasing a new version of Clearspace with what we think are some really cool improvements on Thursday, September 13th. We thought it might be fun to invite the Portland blogging, podcasting, and influencer community in for a sneak peak. Everyone is welcome to attend!
Jive’s Agenda:
* We get to do a demo of our new Clearspace release
* We’re happy to answer questions...

Audrey: Anyone have a link for a good ‘why tests matter’ page for non-programmers? (via Twitter / Audrey)

Audrey: Lucas is volunteering for hood to coast from 11:30 (nowish) to 4:30 AM. While I stay home and sleep. I expect some odd stories in the AM. (via Twitter / Audrey)
Audrey: Note to writers: If your story serves no purpose except to talk about your sexual fantasies, we are not the right publication. Still. (via Twitter / Audrey)
Audrey: Reading post-OSCON form letter email from a Yahoo recruiter. Google did a much better job (the recruiter actually read my blog first). (via Twitter / Audrey)

Aug 23, 2007: BarCamp Portland Informal Tech...
The Portland meetups are intended to be a little less intense and more frequent than a full BarCamp Portland event. The intent is to get a group of cool people interested in technology together to chat over drinks on the fourth Thursday of every month. Anyone working in high-tech is welcome to attend. Conversations usually range from wikis to open source to blogs to who knows what!

Audrey: Getting ready for a day of soccer, Ikea, then bbq with Lucas’ mom. (via Twitter / Audrey)
