Outreach Events

Startup Weekend Portland is a month away, 4/1-4/3. People announce an idea, form teams, and build a startup in one weekend. Drupal is the perfect tool for rapid prototyping and we're always completely outnumbered by Ruby. Can we get a critical mass of Drupal folks to launch one or two new sites and maybe businesses?

I don't believe we have the privilege of re-defining our regional summit unilaterally. Its identity and focus is clearly defined.

The Summit as it is appears to be incredibly successful based on reports from attendees and the enthusiasm here on g.d.o. I think it has energized our community to reach out and bring others on board and that's exciting! So let's do it, then. Without trying to co-opt the Summit itself, can we talk about who's on board to run a camp, clinic, or other outreach event, who you want to reach out to (new developers, new site managers, education, non-profits, business, etc.) and how/when to make it happen.
