Live hacking sessions with a larger crowd (several dozen people at a
conference) tend to end up pretty boring but we might give it a try.
Who gets to invent the task to do?
BTW, what do all the others really do when the two superheroes are out
there hacking? Watching two guys at a laptop is hardly fascinating.

BTW2: do you guys agree that the social aspect of Pykonik falls flat on
its face? At the last meeting (and the one before) five minutes after
the last talk just about everybody was gone. I know, it's right in the
middle of the week etc., but there was Krakspot yesterday, where the
talks are (IMHO) much poorer but still the party lasts much later.
Though indeed, starting from about the third talk I think nobody cared
about them any more.

We can alway divide into smaller groups.

Two of them at one laptop? might be interesting :P

Yeah. Getting to know each-other and interact socially is a good idea,
but last time the pub sucked. There was too many people to fit in that
tiny room. I personally didn't last 'till the end of the second talk.

Jak rozumiem z opisu, koduje driver, copilot mu podpowiada a reszta
ogl�da na projektorze i kibicuje.

And take turns at the beamer?

AIUI, the driver is coding, the copilot gives him tips and the crowd
watches the thing on the beamer and cheers.

One thing that sucked for me was that people inside were basically stuck
for the whole time of the talks and people outside the room were stuck
outside.

Jak to ma wygl�da�? Jedna para koduje czy wszyscy? To decyduje o tym,

The last meeting had about sixty people and IIRC a single post on this list.

Yup.

Is there a single pair coding or does everybody code at the same time?
That determines the kind of site we'd need.
G.
It seems from the comments here that the problem this time was the
location. Also a problem was that the bar didn't open before, so there
was no hanging out before the talks, but that was bad luck. Before we
have had the problems of too many talks, so they drag out too long (at
least for me). Perhaps if we can be at Klub Pauza and only have two
talks there is time over to hang out?
We also discussed having monthly meetings without talks, just to
socialize and talk about Python. I don't know if people are still
interested in that?

One format we might give a try could be a single talk plus some time for
lightning talks (which could actually be a trigger for later conversations).
People tend to be scared of presenting a lightning talk but that can be
overcome. At PHPcon last weekend I convinced the organizers to make a
lightning talk session -- they had to explain the idea to the PHP guys
who seemed reluctant at first but I got the ball rolling with my
tireless megiforge.pl pitch and there were actually quite a few speakers
even though it was almost 10pm.
People do have interesting things to say but they're afraid of giving
big presentations (you *do* have to be an expert on something to give an
interesting one-hour-long talk). 5-10 minute lightning talks might just
be the ticket, especially if they were regularly scheduled ("I know,
I'll speak about $FOO next month"). People might convince themselves to
prepare a few sentences about their favourite topic (or just "fuck it,
we'll do it live!").

+1 from me.

Count me in, sorry for hijacking the thread ;)

Possibly (I was stuck in the talk room mostly unable to leave even to
get a drink).

My point is there was _no_ after party to speak of (a few guys had a
beer and talked about haskell). The lightning talk (after the two
planned talks) ended and everybody dashed out to the exit.
By that time I expect everybody in the next room unable to watch the
talks had already been long gone.
G.
What I was proposing were lightning talks -- mostly spontaneous and
unplanned. They differ from sitting at a table with a beer only in that
you are standing, don't have a table and you get to hold a microphone
instead of a beer (slides are a bonus rather than a requirement).
They are not a replacement for full-blown talks.

That's a bit extreme but it *is* hard to talk about something for an
hour and still make sense.

+1. Get to the point, we know what MVC is.

Going back to main topic.
I'm +1 for dojo idea I never been at any but first heard of at
EuroPython and it sounded there as Idea worth trying. Video about it
http://ep2011.europython.eu/conference/talks/the-london-python-code-dojo-an-education-in-education
IMNSHO to jest nudne do wyrzygania i już było rozwiązywane na setki
sposobów. Nie wiem czemu zawsze jako przykład zastosowania TDD są
używane algorytmy, które wszyscy znają (albo są w stanie wyguglać) a TDD
polega na ich wynalezieniu od nowa.
> A moze cos bardziej systemowego, Grzesiek, jakies pomysly?:>
Jakiś banalny serwer (albo proxy) SMTP (albo POP3) moglibyśmy napisać.
SMTP będzie fajne do testowania narzędziem swaks.
Coś z pygame? Tylko ktoś wcześniej musiałby sprite'y przygotować bo
rysowanie w formie dojo chyba by się średnio sprawdziło.
Albo tool do rysowania wykresów z jakiegoś datasetu za pomocą
pythonowego żółwia ;)

OK, so I'll just write in English, no point in repeating myself (r�ka do
g�ry, kto chce �ebym pisa� te� po polsku).
http://programthis.net/ has a few coding challenges worth looking at.
But taking a step back, who is the code dojo targeted at?
I-wanna-learn-Python newbies? Pros wanting to play and try something new?
Taking another step back, who is attending Pykonik meetings? Who do you
(we) want to attend?
