How about a coding dojo?

We ran one at Songkick the other week[1] and it was terrific fun,  
rotating pairs working at the projector in 10 minute iterations, with  
everyone else heckling.

It's a great chance for newbies to see how experienced hackers think  
about designing their ruby programs, and even get a chance to pair  
with them. Experience people also get a lot out of discussing the  
finer points of the design.

What do you think? I'd quite happily facilitate one at the March  
meeting if people are up for it.
