Weeknight 'Virtual' Dev session #25, Thursday 9th September 2021, 7pm - 10pm (BST)

[BigEd]

An early warning this time: as usual, on the Thursday after the first Saturday of the month, which is to say in a week from today, there will be an ABUG Dev night, at 7, on zoom.

Come and discuss your Acorn-related dev projects, whether they be creating things, breaking things, or digging into things. Or even if your project is stuck... and if you haven't got a project, come along to hear about what's going on. Because somewhere, surely, someone has been doing something mighty interesting.

Hardware, software, tooling, emulators, games - all kinds of development are on topic.

For a flavour of a typical meeting, see this previous thread.

Bump! Dev night this coming Thursday.

Tonight - at 7.

My ideals for a good virtual ABUG are, I think:
- everyone had a good experience and would be back next time
- everyone who wanted advice, feedback, or help got it
- everyone who had something to say had a chance to contribute
- no-one got too annoyed or bored
- we pretty much stayed on topic

Can't make it for 7 but I'll hopefully be along later.

Sorry I missed this, I got home from work so shattered I was barely awake.

There'll be another one along before you know it!

I had to check out a bit after ten but I gather some people were still chatting at half-eleven.

Edit: we had a peak of 17 people, I think. A good turnout!

Feedback is welcome. For myself, I'm happy with the way we're proceeding - everyone who wants to has, hopefully, a chance to bring their retro world to the group, and sometimes we have a bit of a discursive conversation around that, and sometimes we don't. I'm always interested to know what people are up to and how it's going. From time to time we manage to help someone get over a hurdle of some sort, I think.
