# Portland Lunch 2.0 SP3: Vidoop, hard hats, and bacon-wrapped dates

[![Portland Lunch 2.0 Vidoop hard hats by Aaron Hockley](https://i0.wp.com/siliconflorist.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/2532665495_b5b75167d6_m.jpg?w=925)](http://flickr.com/photos/ahockley/2532665495/ "Portland Lunch 2.0 Vidoop hard hats by Aaron Hockley")Continuing its line of successful—and relatively bug-free—releases, [Portland Lunch 2.0 launched its latest incarnation](http://www.lunch20.com/2008/05/29/portland-chapter-completes-third-iteration-teases-fourth/ "Portland Lunch 2.0"), last Wednesday, at [Vidoop](http://vidoop.com "Vidoop") in Old Town. So I guess this one was a “security” release. Or maybe Lunch 2.0 now supports [OpenID](http://openid.net "OpenID"). Or something.

In any case, a well attended Portland Lunch 2.0 promises one thing for sure: lots o’ blog posts and other fodder. So, here’s your round-up.

- [Flickr photos tagged “**Portland**” and “**Lunch 2.0**“](http://flickr.com/search/?q=portland%20lunch20&w=all&m=tags "Flickr photos tagged Portland Lunch 2.0")
- **[Portland Chapter Completes Third Iteration, Teases Fourth](http://www.lunch20.com/2008/05/29/portland-chapter-completes-third-iteration-teases-fourth/)**
  “Bacon and OpenID were the themes at yesterday afternoon’s Lunch 2.0, graciously hosted by OpenID provider [Vidoop](http://www.vidoop.com/ "Vidoop").”
- **[Lunch 2.0: Portland style](http://blog.extensis.com/?p=1527 "Lunch 2.0 Portland style")**
  “Since the ideas of a) free lunch, and b) geeks gathered were both good ones, Lunch 2.0 became an unofficially official thing. Since then the idea has spread all over the world, but taken a special hold in Portland where we have loads of tech companies.”
- **[Lunch 2.0, the Vidoop version](http://www.anotherblogger.com/2008/05/29/portland-vidoop-lunch20/ "Lunch 2.0 the Vidoop version")**
  “I also noticed that the crowd seems to have expanded. From my standpoint, what started out as a mostly techie crowd now seems to include a lot of marketing folks as well as some of the general Portland Twitterati.”
- **[Portland Lunch 2.0](http://linkenfuego.wordpress.com/2008/05/31/portland-creativetech-event-review-pcter-14/ "Portland Lunch 2.0")**
  “Lunch 2.0 is one of the best way to meet people in Portland’s thriving tech scene—the other being BarCamp Portland and Startupalooza.”
- **[Trails and Lunch 2.0](http://blog.xinu.org/2008/05/28/trails-and-lunch-20/ "Trails and Lunch 2.0")**
  “This afternoon I attended [Lunch 2.0](http://www.lunch20.com/) here in Portland, OR. It was hosted by [Vidoop](http://www.vidoop.com/), the creators of an OpenID product they say foils both phishing and key logging. I created an account, chose my 3–5 images, and logged in and out of it. It seems interesting, so likely more to come on that one as well.”
- **[There’s no such thing as a free lunch](http://www.camikaos.com/2008/05/theres-no-such-thing-as-free-lunch.html "There's no such thing as a free lunch")**
  “So Cami’s easy… a free hardhat and bacon wrapped goodness plus a room full of interesting people totally warrants a mention on my blog.”

Did I miss your post on the Portland Lunch 2.0 that was? Please comment. I’d be more than happy to link it up.
