April Speakers:

Denny Cole – Portland TechShop – http://portlandtechshop.com

TechShop is a 33,000 square foot membership based workshop that provides members with any skill level access to tools and equipment, instruction, and a creative and supportive community of like minded people allowing you to build the things you have always wanted to.

Wm Leler – Open Tech Space – http://opentechspace.org

Open Tech Space is a project of the Portland State University Center for Open and Sustainable Technologies (COAST) in partnership with various organizations. We are focusing on the greater Portland, Oregon area, but hope the idea will spread to other places.

The goal of Open Tech Space is to give Portland open and sustainable technology community physical gathering places for interaction at low or no cost, provide help with the creation of prototypes, encourage sharing and mentoring, and promote business development in the technology and art communities.

The last speaker is YOU. Bring your projects and show them off!
