Calagator has been dead for years, and I don't understand why. Way before the pandemic: agreed. Most of what I see there now is business networking or people selling something.

But there are still things happening, e.g.:

- pdxpug (Postgres)

- Database Reading Group (DBRG) at PSU

- pdx.rb

- pdxruby Slack channel

- pdxstartups Slack channel

- Portland Papers We Love

- Portland Linux Users Group

- Linux Kernel meetup

- Rose City Techies

That's from just a little bit of research. But I miss when Calagator was full of cool stuff. What happened there I wonder?

I've tried hosting things in my home/back yard before. One was just to come hack on your projects together. Another was to work on open source contributions. I'd be up for trying something like that again. Something about systems/databases would be right up my alley. Maybe a reading group. If anyone sees this and is interested, send me an email.
