Re: 11th jini community meeting?

At the end of the 10th JCM I suggested Seattle as a location for the
11th, but recently I was thinking that Portland might be a better
option. The beer is just about as good ;-) and the town is more
compact and has better transit--possibly an easier option for
out-of-towners (though Seattle would still be an excellent choice).
OSCON is an interesting suggestion but if it didn't work out to tie
into their event I would highly recommend Portland in any case.

The Pacific Northwest has a great many excellent beer options, so it's
hard to go wrong:
