Any questions? See the wiki page or feel free to contact Tantek (Mozilla host for the meeting).Are you building your own website? Indie reader? Personal publishing web app? Or some other digital magic-cloud proxy?
If so (or you want to!), come on by and join a gathering of people with likeminded interests. Bring your friends that want to start a personal web site. Exchange information, swap ideas, talk shop, help work on a project, whatever...
Also if you're in Portland, there's a simultaneous Homebrew Website Club Meeting there as well at the ESRI R&D Center:
