an ongoing H4WM type effort

[Kelly Albrecht]

Al Nutile and I are looking to meet with people once a month and do projects for good using pair programming techniques and teams of people that want to show up regularly. I think it would be a cool way to extend Hack for Western Mass efforts to be more ongoing. We could reserve a room in Forbes monthly open to the public.

What do you think of this? Could we seek to extend H4WM projects this way?

I might be interested, depending when meetings are. I have no experience with pair programming, though.

I like this idea. There are a lot of projects that could use ongoing work or maintenance.

The Forbes library community room is a pretty good space.  Potentially imwe could rotate between several spaces to make it easier for people in different areas to attend.

I think I could be there once a month for a good portion of a day.  Or more often if it was a shorter period of time.

I've been thinking about trying to setup the ability to do remote pair programming with local experts and mentors.   It would be great to have a network of local people who would be willing to pair for an hour to discuss a tricky design problem or help with architecting an angular.js app or debug a jquery issue.   It might be useful for people who want to help with civic hacking projects but can't get to the meeting location.

Check out http://www.pairprogramwith.me for some discussion of how this might work.
