What We Do

and you can too!

Skill Sharing

Share your favorite coding skills and tools with your friends and colleagues in friendly, no-pressure work-alongs.

Co-Working

Get together to work on your coding projects, help each other out and share your work.

Community Building

Meet new people in your field, organization or community - and find out what we can do when we work together.

Events

Unless otherwise stated, all our events are open to everyone (i.e. no registration necessary, just show up!) entirely virtual! A list of all previous events and sessions can be found on the "Past Events" page.
