A few months ago, Calvin Deutschbein from Willamette University assigned
a group of students to attend the PLUG General Meeting, which was very
cool. Calvin also offered the idea that we might be able to use the
space they are using in NW Portland, in the Ecotrust Building on NW 10th.

Today, I got an in-person tour of the facilities. We are still working
out some of the logistics, but it's looking like we'll be having a
renewed Clinic there on Sunday May 18th, between 1-5pm. We are going to
give it a try, and see how it works out. There is some off-street
parking adjacent to the building that should be available on that
Sunday. Willamette's Spring Semester will be over and I'm informed
things are quiet there on the weekends.
As a particular inducement, Clayton Craft, the speaker at the PLUG
General Meeting earlier this month, has offered to be present at the
Clinic to help people try to install PostmarketOS on their supported or
perhaps semi-supported devices. If there's interest (ping me?), I can
also help people install OpenWrt on their devices, or perhaps we'll save
that for a future Clinic.
In addition, if you have a Linux problem (either an install or a repair
or a question), bring it with you and someone at the Clinic will try to
help you solve it.
If you just want to help out, WE WILL NEED YOU AS WELL. PLUG has always
been a community of helpers!
Here is a link to the last Clinic announcement back in March 2020:

"Bring your ailing systems or questions and we will try to help, or
at least get you pointed in a useful direction."
Further details will be forthcoming, but for now, pencil it into your
calendars!
