The fourth annual BarCampPortland will be May 22, at the University of Portland campus. We are trying something new this year — we will be sharing the venue with Portland Code Camp, another great tech event that many of the developers among us enjoy. Both events are (and always have been) free.

Portland has a huge Twitter community, and we will be using Twitter for updates during the event. Please follow BarCampPortland on Twitter to get real-time updates during the event. We will also have a space on your badge for your twitter name, so if you haven’t yet joined Twitter, now would be a great time!
On another note, things are coming together very nicely! We had our final planning meeting last night. Most of the sponsorship money has been received, and we are using it to purchase things that will make the event awesome.
We are still looking for volunteers, so if you would like to volunteer, you should contact Raven Zachary.
