Well we've only had one meetup so far so you haven't missed *too* much :).
Join the mailing list as well, then I can spam the kind Python/Perl/Java
groups much less :).
Mailing list can be found at: http://eastsidehackers.org/mailinglist
We may move to a mailman system eventually, I just haven't got a host
setup convenient enough for such things yet.

I've meant to go to one of those for a while, but with wife and kids
and other htings going on, it's never worked out.
They are on vacation until next week so I should be able to make it
for once !
I'm a mostly Java dev, though I also write Python, Fantom and others,
I'm the author of several open source software and will be interested
to see what's up at the meeting.

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.
