Hi all,

I have been discussing recently possibly starting a Melbourne Clojure meetup.
We have a possible location scouted out already but I really don't have a good idea of who may be using Clojure in Melbourne.

I met a couple of people at the Conj last year so I am in contact with them and there is this list of people at http://clojure.meetup.com/members/au/melbourne/

If I can find enough interested people I will go ahead and organise something more official but for the moment I am just trying to scout out to see if there is any interest.

So please drop a note here, or you email me directly, to let me know if you are in Melbourne and interesting in catching up to chat about and hack Clojure.

BTW, anyone had any experience with meetup.com, is it worth paying the dues to use?

Cheers,
James Sofra

Hi James,

I'm currently using Meetup.com - http://www.meetup.com/clj-syd/ - to handle our Sydney Clojure User Group. We're about to have our first open meeting - the group was internal to ThoughtWorks before that.

So far I like Meetup's interface. Feel free to hit me up if I can be of any help.

Also, do visit us if you ever come to Sydney.

Cheers,
Leonardo Borges

Hi James,

I'm currently only using Clojure for side projects, but I'm very keen to catch up!

Definitely interested, although I'm in Gippsland rather than Melbourne itself so am reasonably restricted in what I can attend in the city during the week.

When I get moving I'll join the Meetup list.

Hi all,

Good to see some interest!

I have now started a meetup page http://www.meetup.com/clj-melb/

Will organise more once we have some members.

We have a place we should be able to meet in the CBD.

Cheers,
James Sofra

Hi all,
We have a similar group here in Adelaide "Forum for functional programming practioners, from beginner to advanced. All languages, all welcome." @ http://www.meetup.com/acsafp/

It's nice to see groups like this are getting traction in Australia.
Cheers
Andreas
