I'm really bummed I missed it. From the look of things, a lot of SEAPY is interested in learning through pair/group/mob programming practices.
I'd like to organize an event for next Tuesday from 6-9pm at a location to be determined later. I've already started reaching out to some co-working spaces to see if we can find a sponsor but I'm open to suggestions for a location. I'm sure plenty of companies would love to host but I am new to the area and don't have those connections just yet. If we can't find a sponsor I'll rent something out myself. Show of hands, who would be interested in joining me next Tuesday? I've got several small project ideas but I'm open to suggestions. Let me know and I'll make suitable arrangements to facilitate an event. Thanks!
