Shall we have another Dojo?

[joseph donley]

Should we try to arrange another Dojo session? I'm up for it. Any
night is good.

[Brett Schuchert]

Great idea!

I'm out of town most of July. Maybe the week of the 21st.

However, I'd suggest getting together well before then!

Have fun.

I would love to have another one. I tried to get one going a few
months back, but I failed.

Since Brett is traveling so much, I was thinking of just starting one up myself.

What language? Any problem(s) in mind that anybody would like to cover?

I recommend:
multi-language
Something from: http://codekata.pragprog.com/2007/01/code_kata_backg.html#more

Good luck!

I'd be happy just tackling a random kata from the page Brett suggested.  Is Tuesday or Thursday good for anyone this week?

[Brett L. Schuchert]

I've done this one a few times, it's fun:

It also is misleading by design:

Don't use inheritance too quickly

Don't be married to the proper nouns in the problem description

The Ruby group is Thursday night, so I will at the coco for it. Wed or
Friday would work better for me, but don't let me stop you if you get
more people wanting another night.

Friday is good.

[Chad Gorshing]

I have some contract work that I need to catch up on in the coming
days, so I'm not going to be able to make it tomorrow to the Dojo.

I have been relying on Brett to take up the Dojo as he seems to be
much more qualified than myself at having problems in mind and having
solved them many times. However, given how much his job is demanding
upon him and travel, I think it would be best not to count on him to
put together a dojo. But I feel that in order to get the dojo actually
working and meeting on a more regular basis we will need to have some
sort of leadership from someone to put together the meeting on a
reoccurring basis.

I would like to have someone step up and for six times run the dojo
(six months). I would be open to running it myself, but wouldn't be
able to get something moving in the near future. This might take me a
week to two weeks. I am very much open to having someone else stand up
and take the reigns for a bit.

Ideas/Thoughts?

[Brett L. Schuchert]

I wish I were around. It's 6:40 AM in Israel, I've had 2 hours of sleep and I'm waiting for a flight. I'll be home in about 29 hours if all goes well (and it will still be Friday for me).

If people need ideas, please feel free to shoot me an email or give me a call (+1 405 808 0347).

I can make suggestions but I'll hold off unless asked.

I would be interested in helping out a little. I'm very busy right
now, with my first child due in about a month, but I always have
plenty of ideas and could likely help run a session here and there
with enough warning.

James,

That's cool. I'd like to go to one. I've been using kata's in my consulting and training to good effect.

As for enough warning, if you'd like to set one up, please do. Just contact the coco and get a night then publish it.
