GitHub is visiting Portland – the original Portland up in Maine – and we’re hosting a drinkup. @TwP, @kdaigle, and @vinbarnes will be your hosts for the evening at Novare Res Bier Café. If you are in the area please drop on by, have a beer, and chat about all things GitHub.

It has been brought to my attention that, alas, Portland Maine is not the original Portland. That title goes to the Isle of Portland near Weymouth on the southern coast of England. The drinkup is not being hosted there.
The Facts:
- Novare Res Bier Cafe – 4 Canal Plaza, Portland, Maine
- Thursday, June 27 at 7:00pm
