This is a guest post is by Ron Sheridan, who as most of you know was a long time employee of Oversee and now is working on developing and launching  RSS.com:

      “Back in October I had the good fortune of attending the domain cruise put on myChefPatrick.com (Patrick Rudell).  Patrick did something at the event that for me made the event incredibly valuable:  he asked each person in attendance to come to the front of the room and talk about themselves.  What resulted was an amazing and insightful exploration of first hand accounts of domainer business histories and strategies for success.  I think I learned more about the state of the domain investment/development business in that session than I had in a long time.

      After arriving back in Portland, (my new home since leaving Oversee.net) I was inspired and found myself longing for even a small taste of that experience again.  So I reconnected with Jonathan Stanfill (of SnapNames/Moniker) to talk again about starting a Portland, Oregon domainer networking group, and holding our first get together.  Jonathan had already begun to create PortlandDomainers.com, so we only needed to commit to a date.

      Well we have.

      Jonathan and I are excited to announce that kick off event for the PortlandDomainers.com networking group will take place on Tuesday January 25th at 6pm at the Vie De Boheme Winery in SE Portland.

We invite all Portland and NW area domain industry professionals to attend.

      SnapNames/Moniker has stepped up as lead sponsor so Food and Desert will be provided from 6-8pm, as well as live entertainment till.  We will have our own private banquet room which should afford us the chance to network and share our experiences and ideas in a relaxing environment.

      To RSVP or inquire about sponsoring etc please visit www.PortlandDomainers.com website.

      We look forward to getting together with fellow domain industry professionals to share good food, wine and our own stories.”
