Hi all

We still need to nail down a time and what we are actually going to be
doing!

A brief summary of where we are so far:
Gokul has offered to host us at Aconex, starting on the night of the 14th
(thank you!)
Neither Birger nor myself will be able to make it on that night :-(  (in
fact, I can't make every other Thursday either. And I can't make Tuesday's
either.

Our original idea was to take turns in presenting chapters from the book.
But Andy has proposed that we actually try to use Scala to create stuff, and
use the time to work together/learn from each other.
I think Andy's proposal is a great one.

Perhaps we could borrow from Philip Greenspun's comments about his
course<http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/philg/2007/08/23/improving-undergraduate...>,

   - *Students organized themselves into teams of 2 (ideal) or 3
   (acceptable) and are connected with a real-world client.*
   - *Lecture time is devoted to teams presenting either designs or
   prototypes and the other teams criticizing.  This prepares students to
   participate in engineering design reviews...*
   - *Occasionally we will use the meeting time for teams to work together
   (sometimes paired with another team) on a data modeling challenge.  This
   works great in rooms with a lot of blackboards and after 20 minutes we start
   asking teams to present their work while others criticize and comment.*
   - *Most evaluation is done by the clients (usually non-technical),
   professional interface designers whom I bring in, and professional software
   engineers whom I bring in as mentors and critics.  The final presentation
   and write-up is evaluated by a team of business executives and venture
   capitalists; students are told to pitch the project as though they were
   seeking follow-on funding.*

I don't think there are enough of us to manage pairing, but I certainly like
the presentation/review format. It also allows us leeway if we have to miss
the occasional night.

Thoughts?

Martin

Monday from 6:15 sounds good.

Not Tuesday (conflicts with weekly Melbourne HackerSpace meeting ...
but, integrating Scala and hardware could occur at the HackerSpace !)

Preferably not Wednesday, Thursday or Friday.

I won't be able to attend the proposed meeting on Thursday, 14th July
(will be traveling due to work).

Since thursday is out & most prefer mondays, how about we schedule it for
mondays at 6:15 pm ?
I have some personal stuff after work next week. So mostly will be out on
mon Jan 18th . So does Monday 25th July sound ok to everyone ?  If it's a
yes, I can get abt. organising the office room for that day.

Any thoughts abt. what we want to do that day ? writing small scala programs
to begin with sound like a good idea and has my vote. Any ideas for one?

Cheers
Gokul

Mondays are good for me but wouldn't the 25th of July clash with the Scala
User group meeting? How about the 1st of August?

Hello, guys

Looks like I'm going to be too busy  in the coming months, so I
wouldn't have a chance to participate in Tutorial group,
unfortunately.
Anyway, thanks for opportunity and good luck to you all in Scala
progress!

Yes: I believe the 25th will clash with the Scala User group meeting. So
from the 1st August sounds like a good start.

I get the MX on the trains simply to do the puzzles at the back: what about
a program to solve the jumble word finder? That way I'll always know what
the solution was :-)

I would suggest we meet up on that monday and decide how we want to go from
there ?
How does 6:15 pm on Aug 1st sound  ?

The location is Aconex , Level 1, 696 Bourke street. It is right opposite
southern cross station at the Bourke st.  junction.

Cheers,
Gokul

These are two examples of the word puzzle that I thought we could attempt to
solve.

I have just written a rough solver for them in Java. I'll bring it along.

Gokul: do you have a mobile number we can call if we are having problems
getting there on time?

Thanks
