When you registered for WordCamp PDX 2015, you were given the option to get a free t-shirt. The designs are in and we’ve added some extra sizes to accommodate different body types. The t-shirts will be coming in men’s and women’s sizes from small to XXL.
T-shirts will feature the beautiful artwork featuring the St. John’s Bridge and Portland skyline, especially designed for the WordCamp PDX 2015 site by Ryan Wheaton, a WordPress fan and visual designer in Portland.
Bete-Luka’s cuisine reaches deep into Ethiopian culture and history with a wide range of meat and vegetarian dishes to spice up your foodie soul.
According to their website:
Unlike the food of almost any other country, Ethiopian cuisine has grown in a vacuum, undiluted by outside forces. Its mountainous geography kept it largely isolated from its neighbors, and unlike other African countries, Ethiopia escaped European domination, except for a five-year Italian occupation/war with Italy. Only its position as a stop on ancient trade routes brought Ethiopia the cardamom, cloves and cinnamon, fenugreek, turmeric and other spices that are used so creatively.
Ethiopian food is served on centerpiece platters over injera, accompanied by plates of more injera, rolled up like so many dish towels. To eat, you simply tear off pieces of injera and scoop up bites of food.
Our traditional menu incorporates beef, lamb and chicken. And due to the Orthodox Church’s fasting seasons vegetarian dishes come in abundance and variety of flavors.
As many know, WordCamp is an international conference held in over 70 cities and regions annually, wherever WordPress users come together to learn from each other and expand their WordPress connections. Portland is an international port with ships arriving from around the globe bringing spices, foods, people, and cargo that infuses itself into the culture of the city it passes through. We’ve decided to bring that international flavor to WordCamp PDX.
The menu for WordCamp PDX will cover all food needs. Ethiopian food is typically gluten-free, and we will have food for vegans, vegetarians, and meat lovers.
NOTICE: Please note that if you haven’t set your food preferences or wish to change them or your t-shirt sizes, check your WordCamp PDX ticket confirmation email. Click the link to edit your choices and save them. Do it now. We will be closing that ability very shortly. Continue reading What’s on the WordCamp PDX Menu? Ethiopian Magic→
