Hi, Frank,
What a great idea! Thanks for starting this. I will join in a
few minutes.
I am the program chair for the Poughkeepsie Chapter of the ACM
(the professional society for programmers). Anytime you have a
speaker who wants to talk on
- Have a talk on a programming language or paradigm that
others would like to learn about (functional programming,
lisp/scheme, concatenative stack-based languages, etc)
- Run through some programming problem sets from previous
programming competitions (ACM, ICFP, Google Code Jam,
etc), solving them in groups in different ways and
discussing the results
But doesn't have a venue, we will be happy to host the talk.

Hey guys,
I'm trying to start a group of programming enthusiasts, and I
thought a few of you may be interested.
http://softwaredev.meetup.com/103/
I'd like to meet once a month or so for a few hours and rotate
between the following, depending on what people wanted to do:
- Have a talk on a programming language or paradigm that
others would like to learn about (functional programming,
lisp/scheme, concatenative stack-based languages, etc)
- Run through some programming problem sets from previous
programming competitions (ACM, ICFP, Google Code Jam,
etc), solving them in groups in different ways and
discussing the results
- Participating in a programming competition live
(where groups are permitted; like ICFP)
- Choosing an open-source project and making improvements
to it
I could do all of this on my own, but my motivation really seems
to come from doing things in groups. So if you are interested,
join up and let me know what you think.
Pass this on if you know others that may be interested.
-Frank
