# With your help, finding Portland events may soon get a lot easier

Many of us here in the old Silicon Forest have [bemoaned the overlapping of interesting events happening in town](http://twitter.com/ahockley/statuses/574509282 "Aaron Hockley tweets in frustration"). And the lack of one single place to go for event information only exacerbates the problem. (That’s right, I said “exacerbates.” I’m not afraid.)

On any given day, we’re jumping from [Upcoming](http://upcoming.yahoo.com/group/4070/ "Silicon Florist on Upcoming") to [Meetup](http://www.meetup.com/cities/us/or/portland/#Internet-&-Technology "Portland Internet and technology on Meetup") to [specific sites](http://www.oen.org/events/ "OEN events"), trying to figure out what the heck is happening where and when with tech-type folks in Portland and the surrounding areas.

Enter [Audrey Eschright](http://lifeofaudrey.com/ "Audrey Eschright") (@[spinnerin](http://twitter.com/spinnerin "Follow Audrey Eschright on Twitter") for you Twitter types) and the [Portland Tech Calendar](http://groups.google.com/group/pdx-tech-calendar "Portland Tech Calendar") project.

Eschright has gathered a group of folks together—currently hovering around 20 members—in hopes of building a single resource for all of the tech events happening in Portland. Using Google Groups as the foundation, the service promises to pull feeds, consolidate information, and allow for the posting of new events.

I’m in the group, and I’d love to see you in there, too.

For more information, sign up for the [Portland Tech Calendar](http://groups.google.com/group/pdx-tech-calendar "Portland Tech Calendar") project.
