Hey Jon, > From the OpenHack site (http://openhack.github.com/): > > OpenHack is a meetup with a simple purpose: Code together, on anything. > OpenHack works by hosting a meetup in your city that gets programmers > of any experience level together to code. > > I've been running Sydney Hack Nights for a couple of years now and this sounds like the default format we do when we don't have a special theme. It works pretty well, but I've found that when there are constraints the energy level and creativity in the room seems to be noticeably higher.

Maybe some of the other cities want to give it a go as well? If anyone wants any info about how to run one, hit me up. Also after listening to Pat Allen's community talk at RubyConf AU, and in > particular the questions posed after, it occurred to me that this could be > a good way to meet, converse, and hack that's not in a bar (thus less > pressure for those that don't drink)? > Pat's talk was really inspirational and got a few of us talking about what we can do to make our meetups even better as well as more accessible to those new to our community or to Ruby. That said Andrew Harvey has been madly pulling together a massive and interesting data set for our Hadoop/Wukong Hack Night on Tuesday. There's still some spots left, so anyone wants to find out how to do wrangle large data sets with Ruby then come along! https://github.com/rails-oceania/roro/wiki/rorosyd-hack-night See you there, Josh -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby or Rails Oceania" group.
