Free Pass to OpenSourceBridge in Portland, June 21-24

[Justin Burns]

We will be raffling off a free conference pass to the OpenSourceBridge conference at our May meeting (5/28). 

Entry is normally $300. This is a pretty awesome thing to get for free. Hopefully this is just the first of many doors opened by being an officially registered nonprofit :)

Most of the relevant details are below. If you want to find out more, visit http://opensourcebridge.org . 

Portland has an awesome open source community, and they know how to put on a conference :)

Hi!

Here is the info on the conference raffle:

----
We're offering a free conference pass for you to raffle off to a
member of your group!
We've found that these raffles work best when you:

1) Let all of your members know about the conference, dates, and URL:
http://opensourcebridge.org/
2) Allow anyone in the group to sign up for the raffle.
3) Draw the winner at random, preferably at a public meeting.
When you have selected a winner, email
userg...@opensourcebridge.org, CC the winner, and we'll send them a
discount code for 100% off their ticket.

Thanks for spreading the word,
Kirsten

I went last year. It is a great conference and lots of nice
interesting people. I highly recommend people to attend.

I know you've been thinking, "They used a whole Arduino for that? I could do that with a single microcontroller!"

Fresh on the heels of the 555 timer contest (www.555contest.com/), Keith and I are going to review fundamentals and a multitude of ways to do cool tricks with just a 30 cent chip.

Saturday!

Bring projects, ideas for future topics, and a 9V battery with a resting voltage between 6 and 9.2 volts.
