Attached is the proposal for a hackfest in Portland.  Please review and let
me know of any changes that should be made, or questions that need
answered.  In a couple days (depending on feedback) I'll post for a
vote, and then make the appropriate reservation.

As mentioned at the meeting, if we want a hackfest in Oct/Nov there is
availability for one unit or the other.  It doesn't look like we could
get both units until 2017, although if the proposal looks otherwise ok
and if we definitely do want both units, we will contact the owners to
see if there's any potential flexibility.  If you have a strong opinion
on dates please let me know.

Great proposal!

I think that the Nov. dates would be hard considering it's the weekend after Thanksgiving, it would also be a difficult time to travel in the states. Lots of traffic and connecting through Chicago or NYC is risky that time of year.

I'm for Oct. if we think it'd be useful as a "release helper" sprint. I think that's a good place to put our energy right now. If not, I'd say go for the larger event in the Spring.
