First Portland Plone User's Group Meeting

This is the kick-off meeting for the Portland Plone User's Group -- if you're interested in or are currently developing sites using Plone, then this is the place to be!

Greetings!

Last month, the gauntlet was thrown: Eugene announced their first Plone Users Group meeting. Well, we Portlanders won't be left out -- we are inviting anyone who is interested in learning, discussing, and sharing around Plone (the best Open Source content management system, http://plone.org) to the first Portland-based Plone Users Group meeting. We hope that this initial meeting will kick start a group that meets monthly to help new developers and consultants get started, to facilitate the transfer of knowledge among veterans, and to encourage networking and collaboration. Most important, this first meeting will include snacks!
