Re: Clojure Office Hours
This is awesome, thank you Leif! I just set up an office hours account to help anyone who might be interested in organizing a Clojure tech conference or event, Meetup, etc. I chose some random office times, so ping me if you have a special timing request outside of the listed hours. https://lynn.youcanbook.me/ Cheers!

I'm based in the UK so I reckon the times will be more amenable to those in Europe (not sure the times will be good for those in Asia unfortunately.)

I will give a slot to you if you want one, just email me if the 24th is full when you check again. @all: But yes, this round of office hours is almost over. I will be in transit for at least a couple weeks in the beginning of May, but I will probably book some more hours when I become stationary again. It will probably be more like 4 or 5 hours a week, though, not 8. @all: Several poor souls from Europe are going to stay up until 2 a.m. for this, and people further east are probably just silent because the time difference is so large; So, I definitely think some European / African / Asian / Australian clojure devs' office hours would be popular. It's fun, and you might find some people to hire, if that's your thing! --Leif On Thursday, April 17, 2014 10:43:50 AM UTC-4, Miguel Ping wrote: Hey, the schedule's full! :\ On Wednesday, April 16, 2014 2:57:49 AM UTC+1, Marcus Blankenship wrote: Leif, thanks for the great session today.

So thank *you*. @Everyone: To clarify / reiterate: You do *not* need a plan, a project, or a specific problem. If you want to work through Project Euler, 4clojure, clojure-koans, the ClojureBridge materials, some other clojure tutorial, or just play it by ear, I am happy to try it out. --Leif On Tuesday, April 15, 2014 8:00:17 AM UTC-4, frye wrote: I just came from an office hours session, yesterday with Leif.
