PDX Web Innovators

Dietrich Ayala from Mozilla led an excellent discussion about the future of web browsing at the March meeting. He started by telling us that Firefox 3.1 is yesterday... literally. As in, the next major release of Firefox will now be called Firefox 3.5.

Hello,

I am in the process of starting a new dot com venture.  Without signing an NDA, I can't reveal too much about it.  But I can say the venture is analogous to EBay.  However, it is not similar or a competitor to EBay.

We had ten excellent gatherings in 2008. New Year's Day seems like an apporiate time to look back, as we get excited for 2009.

Mobile Web with Jason Grigsby: It was hard not to be excited about the mobile web and the possibilities after Jason's presentation (slides and audio).

Getting Down to Business: Attorney Kevin Spence and accountant Lynn S. Hoyle answered questions and gave business and tax advice at a busy time of year.

It's been quite a year for the Portland tech scene. Web Innovators itself has gone from cozy gatherings around a table to much larger events. Last night we had more than 40 people together at CubeSpace to talk about 2008 and look ahead to what we need to do in 2009.

There was nobody better to lead the discussion than the Silicon Florist himself, Rick Turoczy, who has been a true cheerleader for the community the last year.

Due to popular demand, we're having another meeting that will feature demos from fellow Portlanders. Whether it's a side project or a new business, you have ten minutes to show what you've got. Check out the demos included last time and our confirmed demoers for October:

We were overwhelmed with the interest this event received. The docket filled up fast and it became obvious people wanted to show off what they're working on. Then as the crowd filtered into CubeSpace, we also learned there are a lot of people who want to see what others are up to. There will be another Demolicious soon.

Thanks to everyone who came and made the event a success. A special thanks to the five demoers and Strands, who sponsored us with refreshments.

The July meeting will feature demos from fellow Portlanders. Whether it's a side project or a new business, you have ten minutes to show what you've got.
