What we’re about
Maple Code hosts in-person & online events for individuals in Canadian software scene. It is run by a group of volunteers, and we strive to kindle organic growth of our members. Our events benefit the members by creating more opportunities to share knowledge, network, and collaborate with others.
Maple Code is a place where we experiment with new event formats all the time. This is the place to start events that are hard be organized by an established organization or a corporate backed groups. Events that do not guarantee a high turnout or produce a nice press coverage are totally acceptable here. Delivering more value to the developer society. That’s all that matters.
Who We Are
Magical things happen when a group of techies get together. Novel ideas pop up, valuable connections emerge, and innovations happen. We have seen the power of software communities, and that’s why we want more people to have access to community events. To make this a reality, we started Maple Code to support aspiring event organizers deliver value to the community in the way they envision it.
What We Are Not
Maple Code is not Genie in a lamp. You need to take charge of the event if you want to start a new one. You will get the best support Maple Code can provide, but in the end, no one will organize that event for you.

•OnlineSoftware Book Club : 12 Factor App [backing services]
OnlineSoftware Book Club is a ~biweekly online gathering for curious builders from all backgrounds to discuss software engineering practices. Every meeting, our discussion will be grounded in something written by a developer.
We value socratic inquiry, healthy debate, bike-shedding, war stories, and most of all, learning and craft!
Participation is purely interest-based. No one’s taking attendance, nor expected to join every session.
There is no goal but to exchange perspectives and opinions on best practices, interpret ideas and whether they’ve stood the test of time, give examples to things we don't understand 🕊️

- Read the text beforehand. Come with questions and interpretations.
- We want everyone to get a chance to speak or raise questions. So while we welcome speaking up, we encourage being mindful of other participants.
- It's ok to spectate if you're shy or tired, but since this is an activity grounded in discussion, we'd also appreciate that you introduce yourself or interact with the subject on chat.
In keeping with the contributor convenant, we don't tolerate harassment, abuse, elitism or unwelcoming behaviour.
