Mix with hackers/pair program

The basic idea is we get together in an open space for a few hours, mix for a bit, separate into groups and pair program together. My dad has some space next door to me that I can use, it’s about 2700 square feet. I might even set up some projectors/HD sets if they’re needed so it’s easier to display the code.

The whole idea is to get together and work on projects together in a collaborative environment. Quote-unquote “hard” problems suddenly become easy when they’re attacked at the group level. It’s also a good environment to hang out, have some (sometimes) free food, brainstorm ideas with other people, give/receive advice for a programming problem you happen to have, and perhaps even find startup founders. Think of it as a mixer for hackers.

This is a great way to hang out with other geeks, learn programming and possibly meet new potential startup partners,

Benefits for joining:
- nice, open, collaborative environment for programming.
- Plenty of space, beats a cramped coffee house
- find partners for pair programming
- learn from other hackers
- meet potential startup partners
