[dorkbotpdx-blabber] MakerFaire in Portland?

[Brad Pierce]

A few months back I spoke with some of the people at Make magazine while
getting the MakePDX thing organized and they were talking about putting
together a "Makerfaire in a Box" for helping get more Makerfaire-like-events
going around the country. Not that they would have to sponsor or brand it,
but they might be able to help with it.

I'd be interested in helping get something big like this organized for
Portland as well.
