Portland Net Tuesdays are here!
The fourth Tuesday of each month, social changemakers and web innovators get together to network, mix, swap stories and ideas, build new relationships and learn at Net Tuesday, an event produced by NetSquared, a project of TechSoup.
All those interested, involved, or employed in nonprofits and that recognize the importance and utility of technology in the sector are invited to join us for discussion and exchange.

First Meeting: Janurary 22nd, 2008
January 22nd, at 6 pm, at the AboutUs.org office (SE 2nd and Washington) will be the first meeting for the Portland area. We hope that you will join us to meet new friends, share issues and ideas about technology in the nonprofit sector, and help mold the group. These events will try to offer information about open source (read:free!) alternatives to software and tools used by or available to nonprofits as well.
