Too lazy to go back in this thread, but I think someone already suggested something along those lines. Anyways, here's mine: I wouldn't mind popping in to work on stuff I'm bringing "from home". I understand the social nature of the hack nights, but the way I see it, it's a pretty good opportunity to get feedback/input/collaboration on things I'm working on as well. I'm talking about open source projects of course.
So if I'm not breaking any rules by doing that, I for one would happily come. More so because my day job is at St Leonards.
