Supercomputing'09 is at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland
next week ( Nov 14-21 ).  I won't be at the whole conference, but
I have an exhibits pass and may attempt to organize an offsite 
BOF or two.  I'm local and have a car.

The Portland Linux/Unix group has two events of note that week:

(1) Linux Clinic, Sunday 1PM at Free Geek ( http://freegeek.org )
    Helping folks with Linux problems, RH/SL/Fedora or Ubuntu .
(2) PLUG Advanced Topics, Thursday 630PM at Club 915 .  I haven't heard
    who the speaker is yet - perhaps we will host an SC09 BOF or two.

If either event sounds interesting, or you just want to hang out and
discuss SL, contact me.

Keith
