BTW, several beginner events are happening every week at Clojure Camp. (For experienced clojurians, lots of opportunities to mentor). More details in the thread.

Since opening doors in January, Clojure Camp has several regular events on the go: 📆 1:1 Pairing Sessions Put in your availability each week, and get scheduled to work together (remotely) for an hour with a peer or mentor - practise Clojure basics, work on some exercises, learn a new library - whatever you decide. 📆 Mob Programming Sessions - Beginner and Intermediate Work as a group to solve a coding challenge. For beginners - learn the Clojure workflow and how to think in Clojure; for intermediates - fill in gaps in your Clojure knowledge and argue about the best way of solving a problem. 📆 Watch Me Code Sessions Mentors live stream as they work on something (usually open-source). Currently: Kira McLean working on various data science related things, each Monday 📆 Office Hours Live sessions with a mentor. Drop-in and ask questions. Currently: Sean Corfield, each Monday 📆 Show &amp; Tell Pop in and share what you’ve been working on, what you’re currently stuck on and what’s next. Currently: every other week on Thursdays 📆 Peer Group Chats Hang out with other learners like you. Every group runs their event their own way. Currently: “Clojure com Cervejas” - for Brazilian Clojure learners, every other Thursday. So, if you’re learning Clojure and would like some real-time support - come on by! The live event schedule is in the Discord - get started via https://handbook.clojure.camp …and, if you’re an experienced Clojurian, looking to connect with others and give back, we’ve got a ton of ways to participate (participate in 1:1 pairing, stream your own Watch-Me-Code, host Office Hours… or some other new format we haven’t thought of yet).

Just want to say that I am super-impressed by the work you and other organizers are doing at Clojure camp. I … I’m not sure I’ve ever seen such a well thought-out and well executed initiative aimed to bring beginners up to speed (at scale, assuming 1-1 mentorship is not an option). 🙏 🙌

That all looks so nice, many thanks for this initiative @U0CLNM0N6. Have you considered posting events on the Clojure Calendar Feed? https://clojureverse.org/t/the-clojure-events-calendar-feed-turns-2/

@U3X7174KS thanks for the kind words; I hope the way we do 1:1 is possible to scale, leaning on intermediates to help beginners, not just experts

@U066L8B18 thanks for putting the calendar on my radar, I'm working on an event script so that we can sync our events to discord, meetup, a google calendar, and now, the clojure calendar feed
