Hey Ruth, I'm Oatmeal Joey from Forest Grove, Oregon, and this is awesome. Do you know Free Geeks who may come to this Portland PDX Steem Meet Up?
For those who do not know, Free Geek Computers is a place I used to volunteer at in PDX for some years since 2007 where I learned how to build computers. We learned about Linux, specifically Ubuntu operating systems (OS). I'm using Ubuntu Mate on my computer laptop right now. We learned a lot of things computer related and I volunteered there helping with recycling stuff and in building computers and they had great snacks there and great people I met there.

I hope Free Geek people can come if they want to the Steem Meet in PDX. I'm in Shelton near Seattle, so I may not make it to PDX. But I am happy for Steem, Linux, Bitcoin, Free Geek, Bit Torrent, blockchain technology, natural remedies, etc.
I've used freegeek many times and anyone interested in steemit is certainly welcome! Will you be coming?
