I've been to the Python dojo a few times and really enjoy the "sit down and code on a problem" format.<br>
<br>
One of the things the Python guys do is to limit the number of people who can go to a single event. I suspect this is because there's only so much room in the office they use, but it also makes the evening feel a little more personal. It's just a bummer if you want to go and don't manage to book a place on eventwax fast enough...<br>

Everyone can offer to run one and reduce the burden on their company and hopefully more people would attend if it's in difference places each time (overall, rather than on a given night). The downside is of course that it has an increased effort on the part of the organiser to find a company each time.</div>
