Dexy Documentation Hack Day

Tog will be hosting a Dexy Documentation Hack Day, led by the Dexy creator Ana Nelson. If you are interested in learning Dexy, while also contributing to an open source project, and having a fun day out with fellow geeks, then here is your chance!

The workshop will be held on Saturday, 26 March 2011 in Tog, from 10am till 5pm. This will be a hands-on hack day where we will be writing real documentation, so it’s a great chance to learn-by-doing. It’s absolutely free and will be lots of fun!

You don’t have to be an expert programmer, but you should be comfortable with the command line and have some programming experience. The signup form is over there: http://www.eventbrite.com/s/3wxR and also contains a bit more information. If you have any questions feel free to leave them in the comments or get in touch with Ana.

Projects Night

We’re doing something different during the Open Social Night on Saturday 5th of March and having a quick Projects Meeting between 19:30 and 20:30. The general idea for this meetings is for people to quickly present any projects or activities they hope to work on over the next 3 months.

The format will consist of each presenter having 2-3 minutes to inspire others to get involved in their project. Presenters don’t have to be TOG members, everybody is welcome. So be creative and use slides, photos, prototypes, etc.

As for projects, anything goes.

After the meeting there will be lots of time to discuss and develop the proposed projects over some beers. BYOB
