[Pdx-pm] June meeting date clash

[Joshua Keroes]

I have scheduled our meeting around the Hacks book event and arranged
the PDX.pm meeting to follow thereafter. That's option 1 for those who
were following along. :-) Details will follow later tonight or tomorrow.

One hint: it's an all-O'Reilly night. :-D
