Teresa researched the following groups as targets for outreach:

http://pdxlinux.org/

http://www.meetup.com/RainSec - security group

http://pdxdeveops.org/

Ruby, Python, Puppet and AWS user groups

http://hackpdx.com/

http://stumptownsyndicate.org/ (I actually have a direct contact)

http://codensplode.org/ - women in tech focus on coders

http://www.pdxwit.org/

In addition we have the Maker community, so we should target the hackerspaces in Portland and San Francisco.  Hackerspaces in Portland are:

Finally, I actually administer the local kernel and open source beer list, and so I will post something there and hopefully do a call for volunteers to see if they can help man registration and what not. 

I can probably get a group of us to go there and see if we can set up an appointment to talk about LAS GNOME and see if we can drive some registration.  Id love to start getting people to register on the spot.  We could drum up some interest in GNOME builder and flatpak and see if they want to either hack or convert their apps/webapps over.
