# Portland Mayor Sam Adams addresses the beautiful people of Open Source Bridge

One of the highlights of [Open Source Bridge](http://opensourcebridge.org "Open Source Bridge")—year after year—has to be when the mayor of Portland, Oregon, [Mayor Sam Adams](http://twitter.com/mayorsamadams "Mayor Sam Adams"), takes the stage to address the attendees, to celebrate all that they have accomplished, and to challenge them to do more in the future.

This year, the Mayor’s address was no different. Although, this year, he may have been more gracious with the compliments than he has in previous years. Or not. You be the judge.
