# Coder Society: Getting developers together to build something

Portland has no shortage of user groups. But for the most part, they’re language and technology specific. What about a group for folks who like to code, regardless of their chosen technology?

Enter [Coder Society](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/coder-society "Coder Society"), a new Google Group (and [apparently soon-to-be more](http://codersociety.org/ "Coder Society")) for people who think of themselves as “coders.”

Whatever the case, they’re looking for people interested in doing more than talking.

> \[C\]oding, implementing, developing, full cycle processes, lean techniques, or what have you. It is about learning better and new ways to create, build, and implement technologies. The group will bat around a few ideas each month, on the topic of choice and then we’ll gather on a set date, with a set goal of what to achieve and achieve that goal.

> The idea is to get together for an evening (let’s say noon to 6pm, monthly) and fully implement the technology to achieve a predefined goal. The goal we’d determine on this group Coder Society.
