Meetings are on the last Wednesday of every month!


May Meeting Directions

For the May Meeting tomorrow (see post below), we are going to meet in Redmond out at Altrec.com. Here is a Google Maps link to the building, which is on 641 SE Umatilla. If your looking at the map, our building is the small tree next to the rock.

If you aren't a map person, just turn left when you see the big T-Mobile building. Then take your first left onto Umatilla. Our driveway is the the second one on the right. If you see a big building that say's Altrec.com, then you've gone a bit too far (that's our warehouse). I'm in the building right before that.

Once again, this meeting is going to have free food, a raffle to give away schwag, and sweet show and tell sessions featuring you.

Hope to see you there.

May Meeting! Show & Tell

Wednesday May 27

For this meeting we are going to do something a little different. Instead of having one person formally prepare a longer presentation, this meeting is going to be about showing off interesting projects you have built. Anyone who thinks they've got something the COWPU community would benefit from seeing, and/or would like to receive helpful advise- this meeting is your chance to show it off. Each mini presentation should be pretty small and informal, and there will be a projector and internet connection available.

5:15 - Arrive and network / Enjoy snacks and refreshments
5:45 - Announcements / Handout books / Draw for door prize
6:00 - Start show and tell sessions (about 10-15 min each)

So far, we already have two potential projects...
- Solar search with facets
- DOM based front end templating engine

We are going to have our scheduled meeting (last Wednesday of the month) on the 27th out at Altrec.com in Redmond. I know what your thinking- you don't want to drive out to Redmond. Trust me, I don't like driving out there anymore than you do, but my company has a big meeting area and is more than happy to host this months meeting.

What is a Social Media Brunch?

Social Media Brunches are an opportunity for Global Strategies International (GSI) to host seminars on the hottest new media topics in a casual atmosphere. Thought leaders in the areas of search and social media moderate our discussion, often joining us from around the world by video conference, and in person at a local Bend, Oregon meeting place.

Join us for the Social Media Brunch

Social Media Brunches take place on the first Thursday of the month at 11:00 am Pacific / 2:00 pm Eastern.

To join the conversation in person, come down to Poet House, located at 55 Minnesota Ave in Bend, Oregon (map).

Our online viewers can watch a live video of the brunch and join the conversation in our chat room by tuning in to the GSI ustream channel.
