The Hillside Group is an educational nonprofit organization established in August 1993. The Hillside Group was formed to help software developers to consider and document common development and design problems in the form of patterns. The Hillside Group supports the patterns community through sponsorship of the Pattern Language of Programs (PLoP) conferences.[1]

The Hillside Group sponsors the Pattern Languages of Programs conferences in various countries, including the U.S., Brazil, Norway, Germany, Australia, and Japan. The Hillside Group assisted in publishing the Pattern Languages of Program Design book series.
The Hillside Patterns Library contains a comprehensive archive of patterns developed by the community, either directly or indirectly through the PLoP conferences.[2]
The Hillside Group sponsors the conferences listed.[3] The conferences focus on writing patterns, workshops, and invited talks related to pattern development. Most of the conferences are held annually and encourage attendees to submit papers pre-conference for inclusion in the writer's workshops. The papers undergo a shepherding process, where they are analyzed and evolved before conference attendance.
The President of the The Hillside Group for 2009–2010 is Bob Hanmer of Alcatel-Lucent.
The Hillside Group is led by a Board consisting of the President, Vice-President, Chief Operating Officer, Treasurer, two Directors, Secretary, two Editor in Chief, and four Members.
