Just a reminder to everyone that WhereCampPDX 2009 will be taking place
next weekend, October 2-4 at Metro in Portland, OR. The keynote this
year is none other than James Fee from SpatiallyAdjusted.com
<http://spatiallyadjusted.com/> . For those of you unfamiliar with
WhereCamp here's what it's all about:

WhereCampPDX is a free unconference focusing on all things geographical.
This informal meeting of minds welcomes all geo-locative enthusiasts,
anyone who asks "where am I" or feels the need to "know their place".

An unconference is a conference planned by the participants, we all
convene together, plan sessions, and have break-outs into sessions.
This gives everybody an opportunity to bring to the table the things
that interest them the most and lets us talk about new topics that are
still new and exploratory.  Part of what is important to hearing new
voices and getting new ideas is lowering barriers to participation -
this event is free and it is driven by the participants.

This is an excellent opportunity for GIS professionals to meet up with
the geoweb community in an open and comfortable setting. Please take a
minute to visit the website <http://www.wherecamppdx.org/>  and check
out the suggested sessions
<http://www.wherecamppdx.org/wiki/2009/sessions>  and see the attendee
<http://www.wherecamppdx.org/wiki/2009/attendees>  list. I'm also happy
to answer any questions or sign you up for volunteering!
