A book club. Where we sit in a circle and read out loud, chapter by chapter, the C Programming Language, 2nd Edition. And at the end of each session we stand up and call out names of Open Source and Free Software written in C without which our modern society wouldn't run. Dress code: 1970s.
After the reading session we gather for food and drinks in a room full of whiteboards (no computers!) where we discuss what we heard. With real code printed out from the projects we named.
1/6
You can join at any time. You can go at any time. You can stay just for the reading (which will be without interruptions, no discussions, no questions). Guest speakers that wrote the code on the whiteboards and printouts. Birds of a feather, lightning talk style. No fundamental discussions. Just celebrating the language and the code in an open and inviting way. It could actually work :)
2/6
The first rule is: You have to bring your own copy of the book. That's the entrance badge. No book, no problem, though. You can still join. But when you return for more than one time, you should get a copy. We will help with that. (Just kidding, but I really do love the book)
The second rule is: No computers. Paper and whiteboard only. People that interact. That's the goal.
