OKDG was born out of a desire to connect with local developers and designers. Dustin Senos and I founded the group in 2009 with the aim of enriching both the skills and the community in the local industry. Now with over 200 registered members, OKDG is the largest meetup in the Okanagan area. Free events are held semi-monthly, facilitating an opportunity for fellow nerds to share projects, socialize, and have some beers.

Dustin and I handled the design and development of the website. It runs on CodeIgniter and is all custom: member profiles, event RSVP system, job board, and an admin system.

OKDG was organized to be managed organically, and the torch is currently carried by Shane Austin.
