Hi all, Carl and I have been kicking this idea around. I've read about Software Carpentry events where they project an etherpad during an event that attendees can type on.
Up until now I've posted bitly links to an irc web interface (kiwi irc is nice) so that we can share links and things. But I am starting to really like the idea of having an etherpad projected up. At a project night, after about 15 to 20 minutes (people trickle in), one of us kicks things off by having people introduce themselves and say what they are interested in. I like this because people can find others who are interested in the same thing and gently self-organize in to interest groups. Carl's suggestion is that we project up an etherpad, and people can sign in to it (or we have a driver) to type a line about their interest -- finance, web dev, help with kaggle, etc. And maybe at the top we could have a link to a pastebin or other useful things. After the event maybe I could post a summary of people's interests back to the meetup thread so that potential attendees can see what people are working on because maybe they'll want to show up to gather in to a group of like-minded people. I really like this idea. -- [email protected] -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
