Thanks

Here follows a sincere thank you and mad props to all the individuals involved, in no particular order.

Portland Drupal Users Group: Development thanks to Drewish (Andrew Morton), our fearless leader, Dennison Williams from Evoltech, Mikey_P and Sarah_P (Michael and Sarah Prasuhn) of Shomeya, and the rest of the PDX Drupal User Group who offered suggestions, advice, and support.  Street Roots: Israel, Eddy (who has made the hardcopy what it is), Chelsea, Kreeg, Joanne, and all the volunteers that keep that place humming every day.  It is remarkable what you do. City of Gresham: My supervisor (and somewhat nerd idol) Molly Vogt, Maps and Data Services Program Manager, whose support enabled this project to hatch in the first place, and then grow into its potential; my comrades, the GIS team; John Dorst, Deputy Director of Environmental Services; Cathy Harrington, Community Relations Liasion; Carla Piluso, Police Chief (retired). Special thanks to Ilima Kennedy for getting her hands dirty with the data and to Pam Nooyen for the cake (which was not a lie).  Gratitude of the highest order also goes to Joaquin Lippincott (also of the PDX Drupal UG) and  Metal Toad Media  who really took the project to the next level by donating theming and design. Thanks to David Kastendick, Stacy Westbrook, and the rest of the Metal Toad team for all your good work. It is beautiful.  Thanks to Andrea Couch at Creative Pickle for the logo.  Thanks to OpenSourcery for hosting the launch party and continually providing your space for gatherings like the Drupal Users Group.  We appreciate how you foster community.  Thanks to Jamie McDermott, my neighborhood vendor, and the vendors that distribute the guide all over the city.  Thanks to the agencies in this guide.  Thanks to 211 and the City of Portland for partnering with Street Roots to make the hardcopy guide exist in the first place.  Thanks to Stephanie for the music.  Thanks to Aidan for the flowers and sanity.  Thanks to Alex at SanSei for the sushi.  Thanks to Nilit for the Omegas.

There are others to add and I shall credit and link them as I gather the names.

A very gigantic thanks goes to technical lead and project co-manager Melissa Anderson.  Melissa and Michael Halstead of Incite Development and PDX Drupal UG fame provided site hosting, systems administration, and development, in addition to project coordination and slaying millions of little details. This site would not exist without Melissa and Michael.

Thank you all.

Cheers
