Mar 6, 2009: PDX Pre-SXSW Party Part Two: The Unofficial Version at Green Dragon Bistro & Brewpub

We had a great pre-sxsw party here in Portland on January 19 organized by the official staff of the sxsw interactive event. We had such a great time, that we decided to do a community organized, unofficial party exactly one week before the big event in Austin. Since this is a community organized event, you'll be buying your own drinks, but it will be just as fun! We'll be pairing up with Portland Beer and Blog for this event, and it will be a great opportunity to chat with others about sxsw. We can find out who else is going and talk about ways to stay in touch at the event. If you are new to sxsw, you can get some tips from the experienced attendees. Quite a few of us are planning to use Shizzow to keep in touch at the event to find the best sessions and the best parties. We even have a few things specific to sxsw that we plan to roll out prior to the event. If you want an invite to Shizzow, you can ping the community evangelist for Shizzow (me) by emailing me: dawn at Shizzow

Feb 12, 2009: Portland Twestival at The Good Foot Lounge

Twestival is a global coordinated fundraising effort for charity:water. The goal is to have as many cities around the world on February 12, 2009, have events to gather people to have fun, raise awareness, and raise funds for charity:water. UPDATE: Bands Equal Opportunity Employment - E.O.E and Trio SubTonic will be playing By rallying together globally, under short timescales, for a single aim on the same day, the Twestival hopes to bring awareness to this global crisis. charity: water is a non profit organization bringing clean, safe drinking water to people in developing nations by funding sustainable clean water solutions in areas of greatest need. Right now 1.1 billion people on the planet don’t have access to safe, clean drinking water. That’s one in six of us. Unsafe water and lack of basic sanitation cause 80% of all sickness and disease, and kill more people every year than all forms of violence, including war. Many communities in developing nations often have a plentiful supply of clean drinking water just below the ground, but no way to get to it.

Feb 13, 2009: Beer and Blog - VidoopConnect at Green Dragon Bistro & Brewpub

Have you signed into a site or made a blog comment yet just by logging in with your Facebook account through Facebook Connect? Sexy and intuitive, isn't it? Makes you wonder why the majority of sites still require you to create clunky usernames and passwords, just for them. Well, with VidoopConnect, we make any site's login process sexy, and let the users choose how they want to sign in. Like to use your email address with Google, Yahoo!, AOL, or ANY old email address? Cool. Prefer to use your Facebook or MySpace account? Go for it. Do you follow the Aaron Hockley method and prefer to only sign up on sites that accept OpenID? Got it covered. Even if you sign in with your Gmail account on one site but decided to use the Facebook signin for another, with our single profile capability, we'll detect that and default the signin method you prefer when you return to any site using VidoopConnect. For our customers, a better user experience during the registration and login process makes for more registrations and better membership retention rates. We also offer reporting capabilities to sites implementing VidoopConnect so that they can see who their users are, how they're logging in, and can react to their customers' needs better. It's easy to implement and unlike our competitors, we offer a solution based on open rather than proprietary standards. This has been our top secret baby for a couple of months now, so we're really excited that on Friday at Beer and Blog we'll be able to show the product in action. There will even be a round of drinks on us.

Join us for our roving monthly author/reader meetup - we'll be at the Davis Street Tavern for February!

They've graciously agreed to let us order off the happy hour menu, even though we'll be in the dining room proper - there are several 5 dollar appetizer choices plus wine pours.
We'll provide some appetizers for all to share, but you're on your own for your drinks/anything extra food-wise. Come join us!
