Monday 25th, from 7:00pm

[edit] Where?

The party will be hosted at Puppet Labs, 926 NW 13th Ave, Portland, OR 97209. Suite #210.

[edit] Why?

Cheese is Good For You. Wine also helps. This C&W is the 10th official DebConf Cheese and Wine party. The first C&W was improvised in Helsinki during DebConf 5, in the so-called "French" room.

Cheese and Wine parties are now a tradition for Debconf. The event is very simple: bring good stuff from your country, preferably cheese, wine and|or any other good stuff that can be drunk or eaten. Even if you don't bring anything, feel free to participate: our priorities are our users and free cheese.

Some bits from previous C&W:

Note: (TBD) While Cheese Bar looks like it has a good selection, it may be expensive, We could opt to go to a grocery store instead, e.g. Fred Meyers, Trader Joes, New Seasons. There is also a high-end grocery store called Zupans that is in Downtown Portland, near the Providence Park, easily accessible from PSU campus by city streetcar (tram).

[edit] FAQ

Can I participate to C&W (AKA eat and drink) if I couldn't bring anything?
A: Sure you can. No cheese control at entrance (however, see notes below). No "secret cheese cabal" checklist. But you can certainly find something to bring. No cheese? Maybe some nice bottle of <insert favourite $beverage here>. Or some nice thing to eat from your place. Whatever. Also please check the Cheese Trip item above.

Note: The venue sponsor, Puppet Labs, requires a list of attendees by Thursday, August 21st, therefore you must sign-up by checking the "Attend Cheese & Wine Party" checkbox in summit at https://summit.debconf.org/debconf14/registration/ by Wednesday, August 20th.
