Hi,<p>I am thinking of creating a new society at my college. I'd like to bring together some hackers; the idea is to be able to meet like-minded people.
Typically, societies meet up once or twice a week.<p>My question: any ideas on what could be done during such a meeting (typically 1-2 hours)? Some possible things include:<p>- short (10min) lectures on interesting stuff<p>- programming competitions<p>- forming up into teams to work on individual projects<p>- ...<p>However, this is all still very rough. If you guys have any better/more concrete ideas, I'd be very glad to hear them!
Yep, that's a good idea with a long tradition.<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homebrew_Computer_Club" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homebrew_Computer_Club</a><p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_group" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_group</a><p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BarCamp" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BarCamp</a><p>Go for it.
