wave accounting held a hackersnest meetup. they are a bit out of the way, but i guess the linux cafe was too.

I work at CSI spadina, so I can provide a room there. there are chalkboards and i think some projectors. personally, i rather go to wave accounting. :)

i met the guy who started the clojure dojo. i think we'll have a computer and people will swap out every few minutes to let someone else program. it's at thoughtworks, that alone makes it worth going to.

Sounds interesting. Do we need to show up with working Clojure environments
and a knowledge of the language, or is that provided? The meetups.com page
implies we'll have 100 minutes of "implementing the problem"

> Re: Lisp & Haskell

Not sure how everyone feels about this, so I'm speaking for myself rather
than the group. We discuss languages other than Lisp pretty frequently so
it doesn't sound like it would be a huge change for the Lispers to include
Haskell. How do you guys usually do it?

The only problem from my perspective is that I'm not a member of the
hacklab, so actually getting into a meeting would be difficult for me.

Literally right outside Christie Station (it seems to be either unlisted or
labeled "Christie Convenience Store" on google maps).

So what is the story behind LinuxCaffe? Are they gone? Is it renovations?

Does anyone know?

I have heard a story that may be true, namely that LinuxCaffe had *three*
owners, David Patrick, his wife, and a third "shadow partner."  And that a
few months ago, that third guy took over operations, and was keen on
changing things up a lot.

It looks like that change wasn't necessarily a wise thing.

Effectively, the place is under new management, and some liked qualities
have evidently gone away.  Being open being the most notable such quality!
