My favorite thing about this is that it's not focusing on a specific technology. I'm pretty involved with the Python group here in Pittsburgh, but what I really love is <i>doing</i> stuff, not necessarily getting together and talking or sitting while someone else talks. It seems wrong to me somehow to make a particular technology the focus of a group. They're tools! And, honestly, they're pretty similar tools--Python, Ruby, JavaScript, etc. It'd be like if carpenters had Hammer user groups and Mallet user groups and Maul user groups. Can we just build some shit, please?
I'm looking to get a regular weekend meetup going in Tulsa, OK. I created a preliminary page and put in a pull request. I know we have some fellow hackers on here lurking. Hopefully some people on here see this that live nearby interested.
Interesting concept, love the intention.<p>At first glance it seems OpenHack provides the organizer with the concept, branding, and inclusion on their site... anything I'm missing? what are the next steps?
