Re: Clojure Office Hours - Experience Report and Future Plans

For the in-person variety, I've written up some thoughts on why office hours are a good format for meetups, and ideas on the underlying processes: http://blog.factual.com/clojure-office-hours. On Thursday, April 24, 2014 8:44:08 PM UTC-7, Leif wrote: > > This message is aimed at people that want

Re: Clojure Office Hours

I too can only recommend to make use of this great opportunity. Many thanks to Ulises who helped to find a way with a problem I have always struggled with, namely the shape of the data you are working with is not visible and it is thus easy to make errors which are hard to troubleshoot. I have

Re: Clojure Office Hours

This is awesome, thank you Leif! I just set up an office hours account to help anyone who might be interested in organizing a Clojure tech conference or event, Meetup, etc. I chose some random office times, so ping me if you have a special timing request outside of the listed hours. https://l

Re: Clojure Office Hours - Experience Report and Future Plans

Hi Leif, First I just wanted to mention that I absolutely loved our session last week. I'm very glad to see the Clojure community taking this very important action. Unfortunately now I'm on the beginner side, but I will definitely give some of my hours to people so I can help them understand C

Re: Clojure Office Hours - Experience Report and Future Plans

Hi Leif. I think this is a great idea. I volunteer to do some office hours for beginners. It would be great if some folks who have put on ClojureBridge could help pitch in an hour or two of office hours. ClojureBridge workshop attendees would be a great audience for this. Bridget On Thursday,

I too have booked a session with Ulises and am excited about it :-) @Ulises It would be nice if the timezone of the session was mentioned on the booking page (your [BST] 9-10am is mine [CEST] 10-11, I believe). 2014-04-28 11:09 GMT+02:00 Rudi Engelbrecht : > Hi Ulises > > Just finished our sess

Hi Ulises Just finished our session - wow! I have learned a lot by watching how you approach solving the problem I suggested. Looking forward to our next session and thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge. Kind regards Rudi Engelbrecht On 18/04/2014, at 7:41 PM, Ulises wrote: > Yikes!

Re: Clojure Office Hours

Hi, all. This test run of office hours was fun, and I hope to do it again soon. Unfortunately, as I said above, for the next several weeks at least I will be in transit, but I hope to have more office hours in the future. I've started a new thread on the list, trying to drum up community suppo

This is awesome guys, I really love the initiative some people of the Clojure community are taking. I just booked my first session. On Wednesday, April 23, 2014 1:10:02 AM UTC-4, Cecil Westerhof wrote: > > 2014-04-18 11:35 GMT+02:00 Ulises >: > >> Inspired by Leif's offer, I've decided to offer C

Re: Clojure Office Hours

Thanks, Leif, for offering these office hours. I just wrapped up my office hour with Leif. We chatted about Clojure community and open source project stuff, as that is what I needed help with, and he was very helpful in brainstorming ideas. If he offers office hours again, I'd recommend it high

Re: Clojure Office Hours

Yikes! Got my first booking for Monday. That was quick! one thing I forgot to mention is that I have no preferred way to do this. I personally have emacs+cider set up, but I'm happy to work with your own set up. In the past I've used ScreenHero (not available for Linux unfortunately) for screen s

Re: Clojure Office Hours

Inspired by Leif's offer, I've decided to offer Clojure office hours as well. I'm based in the UK so I reckon the times will be more amenable to those in Europe (not sure the times will be good for those in Asia unfortunately.) Sadly the offer is limited to 1h a day, but hopefully it'll still be

Leif, thanks for the great session today. Not only did I get a jump start on my next 4Clojure problems, but I learned some emacs as well! Very enjoyable, and I look forward to next week's session. THANK YOU! All, if you're trying to get a jumpstart on Clojure, I highly recommend Leif's offic

Re: Clojure Office Hours

Hi Leif, This is a great activity, thank you for contributing to the community this way! Do not be surprise and discouraged by the fact that the interest seems low. I have a similar experience - in my company we can consult with an "industry hero" yet people use the opportunity seldom, presuma

Re: Clojure Office Hours

Hmm... less interest than I'd expected, given recent posts. Maybe I should rename the thread to "Free Clojure Consulting / Tutoring." Tht's not spammy. FYI, all bookings are automatically confirmed, so don't fret if I don't instantly respond. @Tim: Sounds good! Of course, now I'll have
