Yep, I'm in the same situation as Alec.
I'd like to go to London Python dojo, but weekday is not the option for me. _______________________________________________ python-uk mailing list [hidden email] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-uk |

I agree. Although, I do not know if people would be up for a weekend. I would be up for it, since then I think we can have longer and it is not so rushed as people need to prepare for work the other day.

I'd be up for hosting something on Sunday (maybe Saturday) at the office (Global Radio) in Liecester Square on Sundays if anyone is interested. It's likely I could get something sorted once a month. We have a proper theater along with breakout 6 rooms and other large spaces.

That sounds like a plan. I'm happy to gauge interest among the
(admittedly self selecting) audience of the weekday dojo when I host it this Thursday. The tickets booked out within 3 hrs this month so there's clearly unmet demand. I personally would really enjoy having a longer session to create more ambitious solutions on a weekend dojo. Although I wouldn't be able to attend every time.

Let me know what the interest is like and we can go from there.
Btw, we're actively look for a Python Dev at Global Radio so if there's interest from experienced devs please let me know. [hidden email]

I'd also be interested - I usually attend ldnpydojo on a Thursday but a weekend would be more ideal. If it were a Sunday I would prefer it to start and end earlier, for the same reason Thursdays are less than convenient.

There's no reason we couldn't host two events a month at the Global office (Leicester Square). I have to get sign off but it seems possible. We have a theatre that will seat around 40 people for presentations. I'll wait until I get final approval before moving forward.

Hash: SHA1 Choosing the day/time of a dojo is always going to inconvenience someone. I have a young family and weekends are precious. Obviously I could make a Saturday dojo but not every month. If Ed is willing to provide a location along with free pizza and beer (which is the usual package provided by a "sponsor") then I think it's a cracking good idea! Actually, rather than run a dojo (which is quite a focussed affair) why not run a hackathon? Self selecting teams can coalesce around a problem area rather than specific problem and have 6 hours to produce something before a show-and-tell. For example, running a hackathon around the subject of "Living in London" (I'm making this up as I go along, can't you tell..?) might produce tools for grabbing data, quick and lightweight websites, data-analysis tools, cloud based APIs to aggregate information or single use applications such as something that sends you a text message if it's going to rain in London in the next 24 hours... and so on. Now, *that* would be awesome and play to the extended period of time we'd have at our disposal. What's the upper limit on numbers..? How are people fixed in February? Just throwing ideas around... ;-) N.

I like the idea of a hackathon and the venue would lend itself well to this. I've been told that we won't have budget for food or drink but I have other contacts that I may able to convince to help sponsor the events. As I said, it's early days yet and I've only just started the formal process for sign-off and I'm hoping to have that sorted this week. I'll have a look around the theatre and meeting rooms to get a better idea of how many we can support.

Ed if you're feeling really adventurous you could throw a BarCamp! Its been a while since one has been done there: http://barcamp.org/w/page/401031/BarCampLondon4

Hi Ross,
That's an idea! Once I get the sign off I may find we have enough time for 2 or 3 events a month. Will have to gauge interest towards the end of the week.

There are a lot of developer related events in London and doing something too much will probably start really well and then dribble off as the new "shiny" comes along. When I think about what we do in the dojo I reckon the limitations of size and frequency (we can only do it once a month in an office that'll hold no more than 30 hackers) actually plays to our advantage. People know the damn thing is going to sell out within hours and won't be around for another 4-5 weeks so best book a ticket RIGHT NOW!!11!!1! :-) Happy to help out in any way I can.

We get around 30-40 signups for the London Clojure Dojos. We also run monthly Incanter/Clojure Hack days and Overtone/Clojure hack days (not quite monthly yet). The weekend numbers are much smaller than the weeknight numbers for a monthly event. I'm curious to see how the numbers compare. cheers, Bruce _______________________________________________ python-uk mailing list [hidden email] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-uk |

You're right about the fatigue and it's my fault for being unclear. The events won't all be python related. I have contacts with people from other events so I'm thinking one Python dojo or hackathon, a general themed hackathon with participation from multiple disciplines and maybe a barcamp every other month or something. I'm still working out the details and I've started hitting up other companies for potential sponsorship.
Still early days. The one thing I don't want to do is step on the toes of the existing dojo. So please, if you feel this is the case let me know and we can work something out. Maybe the python dojo stays as it is and we concentrate on a Python hackathon on the weekend (which I really like the idea of).

The important thing is to coordinate (we've had double bookings before) and that we build upon the energy these efforts generate. I too like the idea of a hackathon - a lot more scope for extensive things to happen. The dojo is all about learning and extending your skills by practising using a specific problem whereas a hackathon is all about producing *something* useful in a particular problem domain ("Living in London", "Hack the NHS" etc...)

Hi Nick,
Absolutely, is there a system in place somewhere to help coordinate these or is it on an ad-hoc basis? Do you just check Lanyard or something? On 31 January 2012 12:41, Nicholas H.Tollervey <[hidden email]> wrote:
