Hello to fellow Seattle Lisp users,
I'm involved with a geek-y regular event called Saturday House (see http://www.saturdayhouse.org ), which now has a cheap office space down in Sodo a few blocks south of Qwest Field on 1st Ave. I'd like to invite LispSea users and LispSea as a group to meet at the space for perhaps once-a-month or more-frequent gatherings.
There's a Starbucks next door and a pub/diner down the block, and we have enough office furniture to make it worthwhile. The place seems to accommodate about 25 people comfortably, and has 3 spaces with a kind of lounge in front. Connectivity is pretty decent via ClearWire but we're already looking to improve it. We may also have a projector regularly available soon (some are available, but are not always around).
There are a lot of hackers involved and we've been cranking out a few projects under the moniker Six-Hour Startup (http://blog.sixhourstartup.com ).
So far, Saturdays and Wednesday evenings are the only days where we've been using the space, so we are trying to invite user groups that we like to make whatever use of the space that seems fit. Some of our regulars have already expressed interest in a Lisp learning session and a few are already learning Scheme via SICP, so I think LispSea is a good fit.
Anyway, feel free to visit on Saturdays to check it out and participate. If you want to do a Lisp presentation or jam session on code, we should have a conversation to arrange it.
Thanks!
