# Calagator, the PDX tech calendar, snaps to life

[Calagator](http://calagator.org "Calagator"), the community project designed to give Portland one tech calendar to rule them all, has quickly begun to show signs of progress. In fact, [events have begun populating the calendar already](http://calagator.org/events "Calagator events").

How is this possible? Well, in addition to a bunch of hard work by a bunch of talented folks, this rapid development is thanks in no small part to the Calagator team’s choice to adopt [microformats](http://microformats.org "Microformats") for importing event information, specifically [hCal](http://microformats.org/wiki/hcalendar "hCal").

So let the importing (and bug reporting) begin!

For more information on importing your Portland tech events into Calagator, see the [Calagator blog](http://calagator.wordpress.com/2008/02/02/adopting-hcal/ "Calagator adopts hCal").
