<br>
It seems that Thursday 28th suits most people.<br>
<br>
I'm thinking we can work on a search app to find UK rubyists, maybe visualise on a google map or do some graph analysis.<br>
<br>
We've had two generous offers so far to host the event:<br>
- <a href="http://www.wordtracker.com" target="_blank">http://www.wordtracker.com</a> in Kentish Town<br>
- <a href="http://tribesports.com" target="_blank">http://tribesports.com</a> in Hoxton<br>
<br>
Capacity is limited to about 15 spots though.<br>
<br>
Can you reply if you can attend on Thursday please?<br>
<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
Great to hear there's interest in meeting up to code together!<br>
<br>
I'm thinking of meeting up any day between Monday 23rd& Thursday 26th from<br>
18:30 - 20:00. What day suits everyone best?<br>
<br>
When we pick a day, I'll sort out a venue (in central London).<br>

Hi all<br>
<br>
I had to miss Ruby Golf last week as I had a prior commitment, so I'd really<br>
love to come, though I'm not a professional Ruby developer (yet) and I fear<br>
my skills may be slightly below par. However, it sounds like I could learn a<br>
lot from the event. Any evening between Monday and Thursday is fine by me,<br>
especially Wednesday and Thursday.<br>
<br></div><div class="im">
Out of curiosity (I'm fairly new to this) are there any plans for the day<br>
yet? Is it going to be another competitive event (like Ruby Golf) or do you<br>
guys have something more collaborative in mind (along the lines of everyone<br>
pulling together to solve an interesting problem)?<br>
<br></div>
Cheers<br>
Leo<br>

Hi Aleksandar<br>
<br>
Yeah, it certainly does sound interesting, though I've never been to a Code<br>
Retreat myself and can't vouch for the effectiveness of the format. From<br>
what I gather (correct me if I'm wrong), the idea is to be given a set of<br>
problems of increasing difficulties in a certain amount of time, at the end<br>
of which solutions are compared and people learn from different approaches<br>
to the problem. I've read accounts of people doing this sort of thing and<br>
from what I can remember they were all very enthusiastic about it, so as I<br>
said I'd definitely be interested. I'll stay tuned for locations and dates.<br>
<br>

I'm also keen on more practical evenings, and I'd be happy to hold<br>
some in the Tribesports office. We're located beside Hoxton station,<br>
and our office could fit about 20 comfortably or 30 at a squeeze. The<br>
only issue is we only have about 12 chairs, so I'd probably need to<br>
order a few folding ones. We also have a digital projector for<br>
presentations.<br>

I've been to the Python dojo a few times and really enjoy the "sit down and code on a problem" format.<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.

Oh, and, the company who provides the office sponsors the evening with beer and take away pizza, so everybody stands around getting to know each other at the beginning.<br>

There are plenty of ruby companies in London, I wonder if these sorts of<br>
meetings could rotate through multiple companies / venues. Everyone can<br>
offer to run one and reduce the burden on their company and hopefully more<br>
people would attend if it's in difference places each time (overall, rather<br>
than on a given night). The downside is of course that it has an increased<br>
effort on the part of the organiser to find a company each time.<br>
<br>
Speaking of which, do we need an "organiser" to keep momentum on this? And<br>
if so, do they want a place on <a href="http://lrug.org" target="_blank">lrug.org</a> to talk about these things?<br>
