This Weekend!

This is an informal meetup of people interested in learning from one another. Bring your laptop and pair up with someone to work on an open source project, learn a new technique, or even dabble in a new language. There is no agenda or specific topic, just a time set aside for people to pair.”Source: http://mvwood.com/blog/bitslingers-4-6-2009/
