And lastly on the topic of workshops for getting started contributing to free software projects. Yes please. Give me one job to do to that will get that ball rolling. Coz I wants it. There are things I would like to contribute to but don't know where to begin (or more truthfully feel like I have nothing to offer).
I'm really glad that you're keen Scott. This is something I've always wanted to do too. The two things we need first are a venue and a date. Regarding a venue: Somewhere with plenty of tables, power, good light and internet access. A university or school would be ideal and would help us bring in students. I'm also hopefully meeting up with the Electron Workshop folks next week, so that might be a possibility too. I'll see if I can get any interest from Melbourne Uni too. If you have any contacts, let us know. Regarding a date: Would probably need to be a weekend and perhaps not in school/university holidays so we can get students along easily. Perhaps May to give us time to plan and promote? Regards, Ben
