Glad to hear it :). It seemed like a niche that might not be filled.
Like I said, very casual meetings, not too much structure. Just some
people hanging out and working/demoing/tossing ideas around.
Hope to see you for a bit there!

well first off, i'm very happy to have found this group and hear that
you'll be meeting this weekend (couldn't make last week).
i've got responsibilities this sat. too, but think i can manage to
swing by for a while. i have almost no knowledge beyond wirting some
toy apps in python, but learn quick. so i'm hoping to to find someone
to start a project with that's attractive enough to make me learn more
(i don't learn without there being a point). language is not TOO
important, but prefer one of the easier noob languages
(python/ruby/java/etc). shell scripting would be cool too, but
probably a little pointless.

Hi all,
We had a pretty successful meetup last week (5/8/2010). I was quite pleased
to see a fair number of people showed (my last count was something like 10
or 11). Due to popular demand and other stuff like that, we'll have another
meetup this weekend and we'll be targeting more of a hacking meetup. In
other words, bring your laptop, work on some stuff, have your own
discussions, beat each other with your knowledge and just hang out :).
I think at least this weekend, we'll go to Crossroads again but we'll move
further down toward Uncle's Games. Word on the street (or rather amongst
those that attended last weekend) was that there are more plugs for us to
plugin. For me, a netbook carrier, not such an issue but I know some of the
other attendees are carrying around bigger machines.
TL;DR:
Meetup: 5/15/2010
Location: Crossroads in Bellevue, near the Halfprice Books& Starbucks (NE
156th Ave& NE 10 St)
Time: 3:30-ish (I'll be there around then) till whenever (7ish?)
General info: We'll be working on our side projects, maybe side demos if
you've got something cool to show people. For example, Josh showed us an
interesting demo with GUI development + writing to files for GUI events.
Don't hesitate to email me or the EH email ([email protected]).
Website is http://eastsidehackers.org and twitter will have updates
(http://twitter.com/eastsidehackers).

PS: If anyone has suggestions for venues for future meetings, please email
me. Crossroads isn't perfect but will accommodate us seating-wise. The big
issue is enough seats + wifi + plugs.
