No May CopyNight

There will be no CopyNight this month, sorry!
I am still looking for someone to be a co-host so that this thing doesn't depend so much on my crazy schedule. Interested? Let me know!

CopyNight Wednesday the 28th

We will be having CopyNight tomorrow (finally!) and we have just tons of great stuff to talk about. I'm ALMOST positive we're going to have an artist doing our "kick off" talk at the beginning of the evening, it should be great.
The details:
7:30pm Wednesday the 28th
Produce Row Cafe (http://www.yelp.com/biz/produce-row-cafe-portland)
204 SE Oak St
Portland, OR 97214
(503) 232-8355
Produce Row is a new location for us but I have extremely high hopes. It's a great place and they're willing to set aside some tables for us if I call ahead! Hurray!!
I hope to see you all there!

No CopyNight on Wednesday - Reschedule?

Hey all,
I can't make a CopyNight happen on Wednesday. But here's the thing, I also don't want to let it go until February, which it probably would if we stick with the fourth Wednesday.
Who could make it to a November 12th CopyNight?

CopyNight Tonight!

CopyNight is tonight at 7:30 at the Green Dragon (928 SE 9th Ave 503-517-0606). If it's not raining out (or too cold), let's try outside in the new beer garden. I don't know if they have those outside heaters, if not we may need to stick to the indoors.
I'll bring some stuff for us to talk about and I'll be giving away a book for review and sharing the info about getting O'Reilly discounts.
Hope to see you there! If you have discussion topics, all the better! I didn't arrange a "speaker" this month but it would be great if anyone had any news or topics they wanted to discuss.
All the best,
Rachel

September CopyNight

Hi all,
I just realized that I announced that our next copynight would be Sept 23rd, which is a Tuesday. Oops. We'll actually be meeting on the 24th, a Wednesday.

Next CopyNight September 23rd

The consensus at the last CopyNight was that we should skip August as many (all?) of us were planning to be out of town on vacation. We'll meet again in September.
If you have any books you'd like me to order from O'Reilly between now and then, do let me know!

CopyNight tonight

Just one more reminder that CopyNight is tonight:
7:30pm
Green Dragon (the restaurant side)
928 SE 9th Ave
Portland, OR 97214
(503) 517-0606
On the agenda for tonight:
Update on the two orphan works bills being considered. This is big, interesting stuff - believe it or not!
Report from the UMUC CIP Symposium - I'll bring my big binder of goodies
Update on some good stuff I'm planning including coordinating a showing of the excellent film "Freedom of Expression"
Hope to see a bunch of you there. I look forward to seeing you.
And, yes, programmer types, I know it's OSCON right now so we probably won't see you today because you're probably enjoying an open bar somewhere.
