BarCampPortland and Ignite Portland
Dawn Foster
of Tech events, BarCampPortland 4 and Ignite Portland 8.
** BarCampPortland 4 **
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.
