FeedsReplying to a comment on Promoting Portland and strutting our stuff
I am so into this. I do think something focused to a point would be better than an anything goes sort of "month of events". Why not emulate the new media portion of sxsw but make it a free event ranging over a few days. Sort of a block party for techies? Hell how about a twitter based scavenger mob? I don't know all the ideas but I think maybe a weeklong "portland Ignite" with a healthy dose of beer and sunshine will be as portland as you can get.
Also to the guy who said "be more like Seattle" You are aware that Seattle became a tech haven due to all of the Microsoft spinoffs right? Big Money is a decidedly unPortland thing. Profits for all and happiness with work is more Portland (and a little bit socialist now that I think about it).
