I will be in Portland, Oregon on July 31st and August 1st and would love to check out the startup scene and meet any developers working on something cool? Where do all the startups hang out/work? Thanks!

PIE is an incubator that just kicked off their latest class, probably a good place to start:

Others are close by: Urban Airship, Simple, Puppet, Cloudability, etc.

Check Calagator for events too: http://calagator.org/

I'm on the TrapIt UI team in Palo Alto, and we have a very solid team of platform / dev ops / machine learning engineers up in Portland.

We are mostly looking for a new dev-ops/sysadmin guru, but we are constantly searching for great talent in other areas too. Send me a pm and I'd be happy to help you get in touch.

If you post to the pdxruby list introducing yourself, I'm sure you'll get several invitations to drop by and visit:

One startup I don't see mentioned yet is New Relic. There are lots of smart and friendly people there. Also Cloud Compass and Elemental Technologies.
