Venue

Criteria


 * It should be in Portland, Oregon
 * Parking, preferably free.
 * Near food.
 * It'd be nice to have it in an alternative space.
 * Capacity should hold 100?

Suggested spaces
 * There is one space in Lake Oswego. It's called the Wizer Building. It's located at 333 2nd Str, in LakeO. Lennon has a connection and could get a discount rate.
 * NedSpace would be an interesting location, but it has no parking. It's located in downtown Portland. Ray and Perry both have contacts there. It could be free.
 * Hatch is a coworking space that would be a really cool venue. It's in SE Portland - Perry has a contact, but we may have to pay. Ted Sarvata is about to join Hatch. Not sure if that means space could be lower cost or free. Also, Hatch is more than just co-working, it's about social enterprise, specifically.
 * A cool way to get a potentially free venue and greater participation would be to work with a local college/university. PSU has Architecture and Engineering programs, while Reed and Lewis & Clark could work more from a sociological/economy/domestic and international affairs point of view. Other area options are University of Portland, Marylhurst, and some others I am forgetting.
 * Consider trying to find a venue that lives up to the aspirations of this group (is LEED certified or dedicated to some sort of efficient use of space and resources).

For third meeting

 * Hatch
 * World Cup Coffee - Glisan and 18th or so
 * Big Pink
 * Just spoke with Mark Grimes. NedSpace is welcome to host the 3rd meeting.
