Do you code on your own time? On your own projects? Or on open-source
projects?
Do you *actually* code on your own time, or do you plan to, but spend
more time cruising Reddit?
Jason Huggins, from the Chicago Python group ( http://chipy.org/ ) had
the realization that motivation to code is like motivation to exercise
-- it might be easier if you get together with somebody else.
So he put together TechCoffee, which is, basically, a time to get
together and code. You don't have to work on the same thing as everybody
else (indeed, Jason's planning on working on a patch for a Python
project. i'll be hacking some Lisp, but nothing yet publicly available),
just make a commitment to be there, bring a laptop, and spend time
coding instead of surfing or slacking.
TechCoffee is going to meet monday mornings from 6-8am.
For those of you still reading, the first one is going to be this coming
Monday the 19th, at the Caribou Coffee, on LaSalle St, just north of
Lake St.

Jason and i are committed to be there at 6am. We'd be happy if others
joined us.
