[Detroit-pm] Fwd: new michigan developers group forming: midevelopers.org

Sorry to spam the list, but I think this might appeal to some of us:


---------- Forwarded message ----------


Ever since I've started coming to meetings like MUG, MichiPUG, and the
SRT Solutions lightning talks, I've found out there's a whole
developer community out there. The thing is we get together, listen to
a talk, drink some beer, but we don't actually do much actual code
work. I've been pretty "self taught" when it comes to my developer
skills and I'd like to see how others do things, share what I know,
and grow in the process. Toward this end I want to start getting
guys/gals together on a monthly basis. The groups is called
MiDevelopers.org. The meeting day will be the last Thurs of every
month. The first meeting of MiDevelopers.org is going to take place on
June 26th at the Hamlin Pub on Sashabaw Rd just off of I-75.

The idea will be to try to rotate the venue each month so we can get
developers from the east side, ann arbor area, detroit area, etc. The
diversity will be good for the group.

The general idea is to follow the example of the Chicago Programming
Tonight meeting.

You can bring your own project to work on, get advice about, or work
on some shared projects. The first public projects for the first
meeting will be to start up a web presence. We'll discuss what would
work best for the group including a wiki, possible blog planet, and
other content.

I'd also like to get ideas for potential locations for future
meetings. Any location with wireless internet access should be
considered a potential location. If there's a place by you, let me
know and we can work on it.

For now, I've started a Google Group/mailing list to begin discussions
on who is interested, what types of projects/code you might be
interested in, and as a contact point for future mailings about
upcoming meetings and get togethers.

Please feel free to forward this to any developers/groups that might
be interested.
