# Ignite Portland has sparks beginning to fly

It looks like there’s been some activity over on the [Ignite Portland site](http://www.igniteportland.com/ "Ignite Portland"). It’s no longer reporting a 403 error, and the blog is at the very early stages of taking shape.

If the site doesn’t exactly do it for you, maybe the [Ignite Portland Facebook group](http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=5185688473 "Ignite Portland on Facebook") is more your speed? (If so, you might want to join the [Silicon Florist Facebook group](http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=17604212128 "Silicon Florist on Facebook"), while you’re there. Or not.)

Ignite Portland will be fashioned after [Ignite Seattle](http://igniteseattle.com "Ignite Seattle"):

> Ignite Seattle is a geek event that combines on-site geekery, sharing, and innovation (and drinking).

The Ignite Portland team is still in the planning phase, but given the folks involved, it promises to be a must-attend event.

More news as it becomes available.
