Port80 in Sydney 26 September

The story as I tell it. About fives years ago when Miles was work­ing as a freel­ance web developer, he felt isol­ated from oth­ers in the insustry. So Miles and a few oth­ers set up the Port80 forum and most import­antly decided to meet the first Wed­nes­day of each month at a local pub to com­plain about cli­ents over a few beers.

Since that time Port80 has evolved in AWIA, the WA Web Awards, a few talks by national and inter­na­tional speak­ers as well help­ing organ­ise Bar­Camp Perth and Web­Jam Perth. Still one of the import­ant events each month is the social get together, where people from vari­ous sec­tors of the web industry (freel­an­cers, employ­ers, employ­ees, edu­cat­ors, stu­dents and many more) get together to talk shop.

While I don’t know of any births, death or mar­riages that Port80 has be respons­ible for. It has been respons­ible for a num­ber of people find­ing jobs, employ­ees and col­lab­or­at­ors and giv­ing the West­ern Aus­tralian Web Industry a real sense of com­munity. If you are in Sydney for Web Dir­ec­tions 2007 or any other reason on Septem­ber 26 then come along for an even­ing of social net­work­ing with web people from around Aus­tralia not just WA, talk­ing shop (and com­plain­ing about clients;-).
