I took some (very) brief notes, just for myself. I wasn't anticipating outside consumption yet, so, sorry for the poor quality here. If anyone else has meeting notes, we can merge them here and ultimately get them on the website.

Hi Mike! Thanks a ton for the meeting notes!

We need to get this process formalized, but if you'll bear with us to try it out:

You can go to the meeting notes section of the repository and then click the "+" button to fork the repository and add a new file at that location. It looks like this:

codeforportland_github_io_meeting-notes__posts_at_master__codeforportland_codeforportland_github_io

I've gone ahead and created a pull request #8 for everyone to collaborate on so we can get a feel for how that process works. If you want to get one started for the earlier notes you have, that'd be awesome!

I'm closing out this issue for now, but feel free to comment here or find me as milkandtang on the #codeforportland IRC if you need any help.

Hi there, thanks for the updates, @fardog . After offering to help build out the site (I'm a web developer), I sat down with bret at the end of the meetup forked down the entire site. So I don't think I need to fork just this page, unless I'm misunderstanding something?

ah, ok; nope there's no need if you want to roll it all up into a single pull request. I wasn't sure how comfortable you were with github, or what your technical skill was, so I was trying to be as helpful as possible. sounds like you've got a handle on everything!

thank you for the help!
