# Open Salons and Technical Forums

A series of meetups meant for EthPDX/any other web3 locals to cover both the theory and technical side of the Ethereum project.

The first [open salon](https://twitter.com/exeuntdoteth/status/1642049758037688320) took place at the end of March, with about a dozen ETH folks talking blockchain fundamentals, the mechanics of staking, running a node, various security protocols, and more.

The second forum is in the works with a planned a talk and discussion delving further into the topic of security.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://pdx-dao.gitbook.io/pdx-dao-docs/projects/open-salons-and-technical-forums.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
