Travel and Lodging

August is a fantastic time to visit the Pacific Northwest. Portland in August is a gorgeous city with plenty of greenery and a lack of humidity that will keep you comfortable. There is plenty of lodging around the city and we're hoping to contract with a conference hotel so stay tuned!

Join us at Portland State University's Smith Memorial Student Union this summer for a warm, community and free software filled gathering.

Here are some options for lodging in the area
