Personal project hack night Thursday, August 29th?

[Dan Scott]

I was thinking about borrowing an idea from the Python community and setting up a regular "personal project, social hacking" event--the idea being that those who have projects to work on could work on them in a common space, while bouncing ideas off one another and sharing ideas with those who might be interested in looking over their shoulder for a few minutes (or more).

Interested? Thursday is the first evening that's open for me, and after that things will probably get a bit crazy with the start of high school, college, and university in the area. Let me know if you can make it, and I'll see if the standard room is available.

If you're not convinced, or don't have a project of your own to work on, my list of personal to-dos is currently something like:

* Updating the GDG Sudbury web site to the latest GDG[x] Bootstrap instance, which would mean digging into AngularJS and refreshing Google App Engine;

* Updating my personal goread.io Google App Engine instance, which means a little bit of Go hacking;

* Pounding away on some schema.org structured data;

* Starting to write an RDFa parser in Go.

Lots to do--certainly more than one evening of hacking time for me--and hopefully something on there would be of interest to you!

All right, it's a go: the Event URL is at https://developers.google.com/events/901495903/ -- long story short, on Thursday, August 29th, I'll be in room FA-358 hacking away on my own projects from 4:00 - 7:00, and if anyone else is interested in joining me (either to work on your own projects, or to see how I do what I do, or to collaborate with others who show up), you're welcome to join in at any time!
