# 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.
