# Get out your RSS wrench: Portland Data Plumbing User Group

Want to share the ways you consolidate different data streams to make your life better? Interested in learning more about RSS wizardry? Are your [Yahoo! Pipes](http://pipes.yahoo.com "Yahoo! Pipes") clogged?

Well, you’ll be glad to hear that there’s a new (or at least, resurrected) user group in Portland that will allow you to compare notes with other plumbers of your ilk: [Portland Data Plumbing User Group](http://groups.google.com/group/portland-data-plumbing "Portland Data Plumbing User Group").
