July Update
Berries are all over the place! And cherries are ready to fall into your mouth. This week our database hit 400 sources! Laurel harvested a stomach full of raspberries in Mallory Meadows, and Michael went for razor clams and mussels near Yachats, OR. Meanwhile Carly lead an edible plant walk for the Village Building Convergence (see past photos here).
Two events are coming up:
- JULY 5th: Wiki Work Party
We have a new, stronger, sparkly wiki but need help migrating the data from the current one. If you have been wanting to know more about using Wikis or internet tools for your organization, this is your chance! Also a really easy way to help out Urban Edibles if you have been looking for the opportunity. 3pm, The Waypost (3120 N Williams) - JULY 12th: New Website Planning Meeting
We have been envisioning a new website for a long while and it’s time to make it happen. This will be a more technical meeting about designing the site architecture and how to incorporate the growing list of cool feature ideas. If you have experience with Python, developing iPhone apps, interaction design, or just have ideas for features, Please Come! I’ll buy you a beer or juice box. 3pm, Backspace (115 NW 5th Ave) - Watch our discussion email list for the locations and other details on these events.
So what’s with all the Location TBA? We have been grateful to City Repair for letting us use their space, but they will be moving and we are again looking for a home. We don’t need much: a place to put a filing cabinet, some books, a box or two, and a place to set up a table when we need it. We also don’t have much, as in no money to spend. We generally meet once a week and have occasional work parties. If you have any ideas or corners to offer, please email teamoregon@urbanedibles.org. Any help is greatly appreciated!
P.S. Check it out: there’s a flickr group for Taraxacum Officinale (a.k.a. dandelions).
