This meetup is focused on hands-on coding for Cloud platforms. The goal is ultimately for members to share best practices and innovate. This meetup is about sharing code and building applications that run in the cloud. Although I work for Microsoft as a developer evangelist, I welcome all developers from all cloud platforms. Initially, the meetings will be focused on the Windows Azure Platform (Azure). Azure is new and initial meetings will be designed to get developers up and running and workin …

It's pretty straightforward. We're a group of people that like to run and have fun! Every Wednesday we meet at a different local bar throughout San Fran, RUN, and always have the end destination be that same bar, where we cool down and socialize over drinks. If you're in your 20-30s (or just think you can hang) with a fun and outgoing personality looking to meet new people, then come join us! We welcome runners at all different paces.  Everyone can find someone at their pace to run with.  It is …

Picnic Dash Productions coordinates fun running events in Golden Gate Park that sponsor the Brighter Sky Foundation, a nonprofit that places social workers in public schools with high dropout rates.

Food and drinks are provided after each race, along with zany and useful prizes for the top competitors.

There are so many hiking groups, but I wanted to start a group for runners like me that prefer to run the trails than the streets.

Love to run?  Love to explore?   Runsploring is the ultimate combination.  This group is aimed at staying active, having fun, being social, and exploring the hidden gems of San Francisco.  Although we like to get a workout, Runsploring is a laid back activity and we don't take ourselves too seriously. As a Runsplorer, we pick a starting location and route.  Then we run at a comfortable pace and stop if we come across an amazing view, landmark,  or anything else that sparks our interest.  The u …

These mission-to-mission walks are open to all who enjoy nature, art, history. And walking. Though many of the walks are between 16-22 miles, they're set at a reasonable pace and are easy to train for. Why'd You Start the Group? Long story short: In March 2011 I walked 330 miles of the Camino de Santiago, a 1,200 year-old pilgrimage route in Spain. I lived with very little for 3 weeks. I experienced nature, art, and history. I met people from all around the world on the same simple quest - to r …

Welcome to the fun side of being into endurance sports! This meet-up group aims to bring together people who are into marathons, triathlons, biking and other endurance sports for social events like happy hours, wine events etc. I do not plan to organize actual runs or rides etc (there are plenty of other meet-ups for that). Instead, lets meet in a more social setting, talk about our races, training, share tips, have fun and make new friends!

Hi! I've been wanting to get into running but I'm super slow, battle asthma and would like the safety of a group to run with. This group will be for beginning runners, all ages, all genders and for slow pokes who would like to become runners. We can meet in the evenings (7:30/8:00) at Kezar for walk/jogs and hopefully keep each other motivated enough to eventually become runners!

I was trying to find a group to run with on regular basis and this is my attempt to make one. The goal is to train for various races and find running partners. This would be especially awesome for longer runs and they fly by faster with friends. I'm hoping to get in a longer run on the weekend, a few short runs and an intermediate run during the week. Come to all or just one! Most (all?) of the runs will be in the city. Races that I'd like to run: 1. San Francisco marathon (half or full) - Jun …

This is a group started with the express purpose of trying to create a network among the many Probashi Bangalis living in the Bay Area. They all seem to congregate during a Durga Pujo celebration and mysteriously thereafter, go into hibernation for the rest of the year. At least that is the way I feel. Maybe it is a function of the fact that their numbers are so low that the probability of running into someone at random is exceedingly low. I, for one, refuse to believe that. Maybe it is my own f …

I love to code. It's something I want everyone to learn. I spend a lot of my free time teaching people I know, and I wanted to reach out to a larger audience. Coding: in this day and age it's a great skill to have. It not only adds to the ways we can solve problems, it also provides a language and context for sharing solutions to complex problems. In this meetup I'll be teaching you how to code. We'll start by learning how to find and run other people's open source code. That means we are settin …
