Our first hack fest is complete. Primary points of discussion were getting people set up with subversion accounts, some mention of having formal structure to our meetings, and a good deal about projects and miscellaneous chatter.
Projects covered:
- Automated event calendaring
- Writing a NetHack game AI
- Peripheral middleware
Those in attendance:
Looking at these brief notes, it would appear this meeting was very newcomer-centric.
Don’t forget about Titus’ stock trading discussion (somewhat after the meeting but still good).
Structure in the future would probably be a good thing if we also want to get work done.

Yes, I forgot about Titus’ AST. Our pre-atlhack meet ups had a lot more structure. Considering this is the first time this group of people has met, it was more of a free-for-all with little actual work being done.
Pictures from last night: atlhackfest.
Also, Mike showed up virtually, but alas Stephen was not to be found.
The event was actually quite productive. Looking forward to meeting every week.
I really wanted to be there, but old freinds made a suprise visit up from Seattle: Tad and Maryanne (neither of whom anyone here has met). They were a pair of good folks from the ATL. I had to choose between remote and immediate human presence. You know which won… I’ll make it this week, I swear!
