[18th August] Saturday Hack

[James]

Hi All,

On Saturday 18th August I'll be sitting in MadLab with my laptop.  I plan to do some work on JAT (https://github.com/SheepCoder/jat/), a junit runner tool written in Clojure.  I wrote it and I am a novice functional programmer. So beginners are welcome to come along and pair up - and - people who know what they are doing are also most welcome to come and help us fumbling in the dark.

The current plan is to either look at improving the existing code or to start picking up some of the todo list (given in the project README.txt).

It'd be great to see a few of you down there.  I'll be hiding in a corner somewhere from 2pm onwards.

Thanks,

-James.

Great, James! I'll be there.

Hi,

I hope you do this again another day. Unfortunately this clashes with OggCamp (1)

Cheers,

Geoff

Here's a map.

If you're walking along Edge Street from Oak Street, MadLab is on your left.  It is the building with graffiti on the shutters.  The door is to the right of the shutters, just ring the bell and someone will let you in.

See you next weekend.

[Diptanu Choudhury]

Ah! I have seen that building. I will come by!

[Simon Holgate]

James,

looking forward to seeing you at 2pm tomorrow.

Simon

[James]

Yup.

 

And a reminder to the rest of the group, Simon and I will be hidden somewhere in MadLab from 2pm tomorrow.   We'll be looking at doing some work on JAT, a junit analysis tool written in Clojure.

 

Hopefully we'll see a few of you there.

 

Thanks,

 

-James.

BTW my mobile number is 07580 367 462 in case you can't find us.

[Diptanu Choudhury]

I am coming! But i will be working on my own stuff i guess :)

[James]

See you soon.  Both Simon and I are here now.  There is plenty to get on with if you fancy hacking some clojure.
