Show and tell

February 26, 2010, 1:30-3:00PM (west coast time) — on the phone/net — The first of perhaps many virtual gatherings for people to do "show & tell" on patterns they've worked on, and for us to collectively contemplate one or more patterns. We looked at Accordion, and made some edits and added some thughts to the discussion there.
Presenting: Kaliya & Nancy
Attended: John Abbe, Tree Bressen, Malcolm Best, Kaliya Hamlin, Nancy Glock-Grueneich
February 7-8, 2010 — Berkeley, CA — About 10 of us are planning to meet up in person for two days to write patterns together. Participants are expected to already be familiar with the project (at least having read some main docs on the website) and ready to roll, contact Tree for more info. We're starting with Sunday brunch 11am at Fat Apples, then meeting the rest of the time at Epworth United Methodist Church. Hope to see ya there!
