clojure-belgium 2016-06-06

yes @tgoossens !! we are missing one for the 100! should we prepare something special to celebrate it? πŸ˜„

Ideas? metal🍻

mine fails on seq-caps though - perhaps I should write a gen-test πŸ™‚

you can always use commons-lang πŸ˜›

what is the er, spec? πŸ˜‰

You won by calling it snake though so your naming is better even if the code is not ;-)

wait - did I call it snake? I think it should be Kebab

snake = hello_world, yelling snake = HELLO_WORLD

I watched the keynote from clojure remote by @ztellman and we are not following his advice :(

It has happened! 100 members in beclojure ! πŸ‘ πŸ‘ πŸ‘

I have messaged him (he’s called Arne) on meetup and told him that he will have a special place in our ❀️

Arne Brasseur?

@tgoossens: suggests a monthly video interview with a Belgian clojurian

@danipov: yes, that’s the gent

He is the guy from the Lambdaisland screencasts πŸ™‚

I don’t know it

It s awesome

freebie episode

@raymcdermott: it could be interesting to do a monthly interview to a clojurian πŸ™‚

ok, well that’s the guy … the site looks awesome and it seems like he could give a talk or two!

I have tapped him up on the meetup - hopefully he’ll join us here soon

Anyone have suggestions to make high audio quality type of interview over the web ?

I use skype + screenflow

Maybe we should have an invitation to slack in the welcome message when joining the group

We could do audio only interviews as well of course

well, with screenflow you can record everythin or just the audio, as you wish πŸ™‚

I have made personal messages to the folks joining as of 1st June to join us on Slack

Have you modified the welcome message? feel free to change it πŸ™‚

I haven’t - let me take a look at that

sounds good πŸ™‚

I’ll fix it up

We have a question on the sign up page about training - is that interesting to anyone?

some people answer yes … is that followed up?

I would prefer to drop the question if not

At the beginning I though to make more belgian oriented trainings just to promote/speed up the integration of Clojure in Belgium, but we never took any action on it. I'm checking all the replies and almost everyone would like some free training, even if it's online... but it's true that there's a lot of material out there..

ok, so let’s drop it then

any other questions that we should ask?

maybe like do you run a Clojure training web site πŸ˜‰

Ask them for a link to any clojure related topics they worked on

or maybe more general, are you already contributing with the clojure community (clojure web trainning, open source projects, etc)

ok, plus maybe which part of belgium they prefer to meet?

πŸ‘Œ 1

that's a good one πŸ™‚

Good idea.

ok, I’ll fix it now

thanks! πŸ˜‰

all done

πŸ‘ 1

must really stop slacking now and do some work πŸ˜‰

before I go here is a review of recording software

we use ecamm for the podcast

@plexus has joined the channel

hey everyone, congrats on your 100 members πŸ˜„

I just signed up to stay in the loop about meetups, I didn't expect it to be a special occasion πŸ™‚

What do you want to know about your fellow clojurians. Give some suggestions for interview questions https://docs.google.com/a/thomasgoossens.be/document/d/1INN_Vmh2lHJjeWY4kdkRFXpYq00HyRz1bQOCmtEWEJk/edit?usp=docslist_api

I live in Berlin now but I'm originally from Belgium. I'd love to give a talk some time, I'll be in Belgium a couple times over the summer so maybe we can work something out

if I can suggest something for the http://meetup.com page, the first question you ask when signing up is a yes/no clojure, "Have you ever worked with Clojure before?"

might be better to make that a more open question, like "What Clojure experience do you have, if any?"
