When will there be Code Oregon Meetups that are not in a bar or pub? Some Code Oregon students don't drink alcohol at all & don't go to bars or pubs. Some Code Oregon students can't meet after 5 p.m., either. Thanks for your response.

25,941 PointsThe open labs at WorkSource Oregon are reserved times for Code Oregon students to work on their chosen tracks, not to socialize informally. I was referring to the social Team Treehouse Meetups for Code Oregon students on the meetup.com web site, etc. There are Code Oregon students who would like to meet other Code Oregon students without the presence of alcohol.
David S. McFarland is the Portland, Oregon person arranging Code Oregon Meetups.

Better yet, offer to run a session yourself in one of the many, many coffee shops that abound. But then, if you're refusing/unable to go anywhere where there might be alcohol served, you might not have much luck with coffee shops here, either.
That said, one thing I've noticed at the bars here in PDX is that no one really cares whether you're drinking something alcoholic or not- particularly in a bar that people are likely to hold a meetup in.

25,941 PointsAndrew VanVlack: Here's the Team Treehouse Code Oregon meetup web site:
http://www.meetup.com/Treehouse-Portland. Dave S. McFarland is organizing the local meetups. Also look at www.portlandtech.org David M. Duncan's web site. He's the Multnomah County WorkSource Oregon person who created this website. You can connect to many different technology websites from it. Take some time to explore it.
There's also technology jobs listed on David M. Duncan's website. It's a good way to research potential employers.
