A few weeks ago I tweeted about holding some kind of code-oriented meetup here in Edmonton. This was prompted by a conversation Paul, Adam, Jordan and myself had at Railsconf. We were talking about how DemoCamp, while loads of fun, doesn’t fully satisfy us. The demos are usually interesting and the networking is always great fun. But for those of us who love the act of building shit, DemoCamp doesn’t scratch the entire itch. I want to build stuff, check out what others are building, and learn about a bunch of awesome geek stuff that I haven’t had a chance to experiment with myself. DemoCamp isn’t the place for this.
