I agree, but my point is that we had originally talked about some organized activities. Are we still thinking about that?
In short, yes.
And by "we", I mean that Audrey and I talked about at at the pre-meeting FOSCON hoedown, and then we talked about it a little more during the meeting itself.
The general consensus is that we are stretched thin on (mostly human) resources for FOSCON anyway, so trying to organize anything complicated/formal for OSCAMP would be a little more then we could chew. Instead, we are going to embrace the OpenSpaces construct (which rocks!), and:
1. Think about some ruby relates "issues". The type of thing that might entertain discussion among ruby enthusiasts for an hour or so. I am not nearly close enough to the ruby bleeding-edge to know what this might be, but I am sure someone has some ideas. These are free format, they could be little hackfests, or discussions, or anything really.
2. Think about a "scripting language challenge". Something on which we could pit ruby against the other scripting languages represented (Perl, PHP, Python, Haskell?).
3. When OSCAMP starts, people who came up with ideas in 1 and 2 will present them as topics.
4. People who are interested will attend these meetings at the times they are scheduled.
At the monthly meeting I also said that I would make a wiki page on the OSCAMP wiki for organization of 1 and 2. And here it is:
