Many of us here in the old Silicon Forest have bemoaned the overlapping of interesting events happening in town. 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 to Meetup to specific sites, 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 (@spinnerin for you Twitter types) and the 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 project.

This is excellent, go Audrey et al! Back in the dark ages (1995-1998), I did a web tech calendar. It had some dumb name like iPortland. I’m glad to see someone is taking up the fight again.
