This is just a quick notice for Oregonians that members of WikiProject Oregon will be at CubeSpace in Portland to help as best they can with Geeks Day On.
Day On connects nonprofit organizations that need advice and assistance with volunteers who are ready to help. Today’s inaugural project is Geeks Day On, a day of service during MLK Day, Monday, January 19, 2009 where geeks will offer free technology and Internet communications advice and assistance to nonprofit organizations.
Learn more about how you can get help or volunteer during Geeks Day On.
Update:
The wiki crew arrived somewhat late to Geeks Day On, but since we’re familiar with the MediaWiki-style editing of the site and there’s no news coverage to verify a Wikipedia article with (yet!), we built DayOn.org their own AboutUs page.

Sweet! Will this be happening again? With more notice, count me in!! (I was strangely unaware of the Day of Service concept until it was too late. Did a little service anyway, I suppose, in my everyday sense….)

Pete, the plan is for this to happen again, either in person or through some sort of online coordination. I’d definitely suggest registering and filling out a profile on the site.
