Hey folks, we're just about a week away from the "scheduled" date for the
next meeting. That is, it's coming up on Wednesday, Nov 7.
I know we've fallen down on the job, a bit, so I'd really like to make an
effort to get something together that's of interest to you. If any of you
have topics you'd like to discuss or speak on, I'd love to hear it. A few
possible ideas:
- more discussion of Akka or other concurrency libraries/frameworks (I'd
love for an in-depth discussion of Finagle to happen at some point)
- we could play around, as a group, with Scalatron (
http://scalatron.github.com)
- we could discuss more about FP in general or focusing on specific
topics as they relate to Scala (there have been a few interesting topics at
PDXFunc, apparently, that might be worth covering)
- any tools or libraries that one or more of you would like to
demonstrate are always welcome subjects
Of course, other ideas are welcome, so feel free to speak up!

I am quite new to this group and to Scala as well. Not sure if this is
something that will be relevant to rest of the group, but something good to
get started on Scala would be great. One of my friends is also looking
forward to take this journey.
Irrespective of topics are for beginner or not, I would love to meet some
Scala enthusiasts and discuss my ideas etc.

Newcomers (to both the group and Scala, of course) are very welcome! If we
can manage to get it set up in time, working through some of the Scalatron
exercises in groups, or something along those lines, would be perfect for
beginners, but hopefully still engaging enough for everyone else, as well.
I'll see if I can make that happen, though my schedule is pretty booked
between now and then.
If anyone else wants to suggest ideas that would be appropriate or try to
get Scalatron running on a system they could bring to the meeting, that
would be welcome, of course! Either way, there are always at least a couple
newcomers and we're generally all happy to discuss topics that are
accessible to any level. Let us know if there's anything in particular
you'd like to hear about!

I still want to work through http://apocalisp.wordpress.com/2010/06/08/type-level-programming-in-s... with some other folks at some point. If there is interest we could go through one or two posts per meeting. It could be fun to have a couple of these types of group study and discussion running over multiple meetings.
Could also be interesting to view a presentation or two with discussion afterwards from http://skillsmatter.com/event/scala/scala-days-2012 or similar. Flipped classroom style could also be a possibility; watch a ahead of time, then discuss and work through related examples at the meeting.
