Hello StatusNet Community! As I am sure you have heard, StatusNet has been in Portland this past week spreading the word of the Open Web! We are excited to share with you the success of our adventures, and so why wait any longer, let's get started!

 * The StatusCheck event is tonight, Wednesday July 21, 2010, from 6:00pm until 8:00pm, and it is being held at Henry's Tavern in Portland, Oregon! Everyone is welcome to come and join us for some drinks and great conversation.
 * According to Jon Phillips (Community Director at StatusNet), the Federated Social Web Summit firmly planted a flag in the ground about concrete steps to keep improving the state of federating social features across the open web. Every participate gave a 5 minute presentation about what they are doing with federation, then we spent the afternoon hacking and whiteboarding together. While many people knew each other, it served as a collaboration and connection point for new friends and companies to work together.
 * The Open Source Conference OSCON 2011 is taking place all this week! Evan Prodromou (CEO and founder of StatusNet) will be contributing to a presentation tonight, entitled Web Services: How Can Open Source Software Compete?, and on Friday July 23rd, he will make another presentation entitled Open Source and the Federated Social Web.
