[group-organizers] Hack nights?

[David Christian]

Hey all,
There was some discussion of hack nights when we were at pycon.

I'm looking at starting such a thing here in NYC and so I wanted to
keep that conversation going.

I think the trickiest thing w/ hack nights is how to get things going
- do you have one large project, or do you have lots of people doing
their own projects?

The details of making this work correctly I think are more tricky than
they might seem, and it seems like it would be easy for a hack night
to either devolve into everyone working on their own thing (I've seen
this) or having it die when interest in a particular project dies
(I've seen this too!)

Any advice would be appreciated!

Cheers,
Dave
