Announcement
We're lucky to have a diverse collection of technology-centered groups, such as Rochester on Rails, the python meetup group and various computer science groups at RIT and UofR. Despite their similar interests, these groups rarely intersect! This is why on Saturday, September 29th I'll be hosting a second DevHouse modeled after SuperHappyDevHouse. This means it'll be one part sprint, one part meeting and one part party. Anyone interested in cutting edge technology (read: this means you and your friends) are invited.
This is not just a Ruby, or Rails, or Python, or Linux, or Coldfusion or a Web 2.0 thing!
List of Attendees
If you might be coming, add yourself!
- TimothyFitz is hosting! and probably polishing up Tanks vs Zombies.
Lightning Talks
The problem with presentations is that if you're not their target audience, if you're not interested, if the presentation sucks or if it's too in depth you can easily become bored and space out. It's a terrible feeling (usually referred to as "college"). Lightning Talks are the answer: The presenter has five minutes. A timer is used and at the end of five minutes they're forcibly removed from the spotlight and immediately another talk begins. Given a highly technical audience, you can say a lot in five minutes. Given an hour, an audience can learn about twelve drastically different things. Since the presentations are only five minutes, they're relatively easy to give. All you need is an idea you think someone else should hear, and aren't we all full of those? (The point isn't to explain in depth a concept, it's to introduce people to a concept; the interested people will ask questions after the talks)
Add yourself to the list along with what you're thinking about. If you see a topic not covered, or something listed that interests you, add that to the talk page!
- TimothyFitz on Pygame, PyPy, Indie Gaming, Last-Devhouse, next-devhouse etc?
Special Food Considerations
We're already planning on vegetarian options, but if you're alergic/vegan/meatitarian, feel free to add any special considerations here.
