+1 for more space.
+1 for keeping it in a pub.
+1 for keeping it light in mood but heavy in tech. Though we need to aim at
all levels of experience.

Again, I think that's entirely a personal debate that really can never be
won, one way or another. I personally would find a group of people
comfortable enough to tease each other (as long as it *is teasing* and not
*mean*) very welcoming. In my mind, if I could start to go more regularly

I am not part of the Sydney community, but I'm reading avidly and wondering
why you can't just ask people to let you know up front if heckling is OK
for them?
I think you'll get people who say it is and people who would like to ask
you not too but won't because they don't want too look 'scared', b
Howdy,
First of all, I just want to point out how lucky we are to be apart of the
ruby community. I've been to a few other meet ups in the past and they are
utterly terrible. Almost everyone in the ruby community is there because
they actually care about what they do, and want to meet and help
This is +1 to Keith's comment: " Having said that, I wouldn't be
totally against trying a different venue."
I am sure we do not intend crowding to have this effect:

- More advanced topics (2 yea)
- More talks on best practice (
So returning this thread to its purpose, which was not about heckling per
se, here is a list of the suggestions you've all made so far. Thank you!
Please keep suggesting things if you think of them. It helps our leaders
lots. :)

Yeah, I can't say that Melbourne has a heckling problem. The last time I spoke,

Good point.
I've see other user groups where people make proposals and then there's a
chance to vote on what you want to hear. Obviously the biggest benefit of
that is in the feast scenario, but it never hurts to gather thoughts in
advance.

Something that's gone unmentioned is... where are these perfectly balanced
and targeted talks coming from?
People talk about what they want to talk about. The orgs can encourage a

Yes, I will swap you. I find RORO Melbourne quiet and not very much fun any

I think that promoting short talks is a really good thing, I often have
many ideas for talks but not many will fill for 20mins +, so at the end
I give up on the idea, which is a shame. I guess that newcomers will
feel the same, even worst as trying to talk for 20+ mins for the first
time can fe
We need to find a way to keep our heckling and encourage new talks; for me
