Portland Technology/Entrepreneur groups

March 14, 2006 at 5:35 pm · Filed under Portland

Now that Portland is the best place to live, some people may want to move here. Because of that (but really because a couple people have asked recently), here are the various technology/entrepreneurial groups around town. This is by no means a complete list.

There are others like Mac, Linux and PC user groups, Podcasting Meetups, Entrepreneur (general) meetups, but these are the main ones I’ve come across. What others do people know of or enjoy?

    I was just looking at the PDX Web Innovators wiki and thinking to myself “someone should compile a list of all of the tech groups in portland…” Then I click, and here it is. Since there’s a few language-oriented groups on that list, you might want to add PDX PHP (http://www.pdxphp.org)

    I also should have mentioned the local Perl Mongers group. Lots of big names attend this group. They’re going through a transition in leadership right now. In fact, there is a meeting on 12th of April at Free Geek. - http://portland.pm.org/kwiki/

    [...] I’m starting in on my fourth year in Portland (tenth in Oregon!) and I have a handful of technical group meetings I attend. If you’re looking for an exhaustive list, look to Web Things Considered. Below are my thoughts on the ones I know. [...]

    [...] The folks at Pop Art have launched a new group, PDXUX (UX = User Experience), for area designers and developers to get together (via). Looks to be heavy on Microsoft stuff. That’s not an indictment against the group (I code in .NET for a living as a matter of fact), but I do know that many developers dislike Microsoft’s proprietary ways and many designers dislike working with Microsoft technology. So, it will be interesting to see how it does. I’ll add it to the list. [...]

    I set up a wiki to track technology-related groups in Portland at http://pdxgroups.pbwiki.com. Please feel free to add any of these that you think might be relevant.

    @Audrey - Cool, great idea. It helps to have a more permanent home for this stuff.
