One thing that really irritates me is the lack of knowledge transfer in our industry. I have been thinking of ways to help fix this and came up with the idea of having a weekly or bi-weekly meet up of fellow Edmonton geeks to just sit around and learn from each other.

To accomplish this I am going to setup an informal meet up where people can show up and just work on whatever they want or just go randomly pair with someone. This is meant for all levels of developers

So far I have a few ideas for location. The first is the Legislature Grounds which is a nice place to work, has some power outlets, but has no WiFi. We could find a pub that has WiFi, is out of the elements, food, and drinks, but would probably not have power outlets for a bunch of laptops. There is also the third option of a coffee shop but because "Coffee Shop" does not start with P we would need to change the name of the mailing list so that is right out.

If you are interested in this idea please subscribe to the mailing list by sending an empty email to pip-subscribe@solidhouse.com
