Hi James,
I live in the Portland area now too, so it would be great to see you again and meet anyone else who can join.
I'd also love to help with future meetups (Pandemic/time permitting). I added this meetup to Wikipedia:Meetup/Portland https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Portland, and we can use that for planning future events too.
I also wanted to say thank you to Janna for organizing and sharing the invitation.
Best, Stephen

Well, some people might be available, and it’s good to reach out to mailing lists like this just in case. I will be attending, and if anyone else in the Portland area is available, I hope to see you there too. If not, we will have another meetup sometime, at a more convenient time. There is no good reason to be unfriendly here.

Hello all,
Short notice, but the Wikimedia Foundation's CPTO, Selena Deckelmann, will be hosting a gathering for local staff and community this Thursday.
Location: Rose City Book Pub, 1329 NE Fremont St, Portland, OR 97212 Day and time: September 29, 3-5:30pm
Please let me know if you're interested in attending. :)
Well, yes, this is short notice if you wanted to reach out to the community, especially since these hours fall during the usual business hours & would require taking off time from work. And while I normally leap at any excuse to get away from work, I doubt I could get time off on such short notice.
BTW, I suspect I'm the only subscriber on the Wikimedia Cascadia list who lives in the Portland area. (It's been a while since we had a meetup down here, so it's possible. Heck, it's been awhile since I've seen an email from the mailing list.) Most of the group is based in the Seattle area, so I don't know who -- if anyone -- from the community will show up. And although it was over 10 years ago, last time I met with a C-level from the Foundation I wasn't impressed.
