Seattle SICP study group kick off meeting was fun
I had a lot of fun last night. We had our kick off meeting in the University district at Big Time Brewery. We settled all the logistics of how to run the group. Most of the people are attached to UW directly or indirectly and our backgrounds vary. I think attrition will be high for SICP, but we are starting with a promising crew.
For anyone setting up a study group here are some statistics. Announced as a meat-space study group in Seattle with a mailing list on Google Groups. 21 people signed up online. 7 people attended kick off meeting. I advertised on my (obscure) blog, craigslist activities, and two mailing lists. I put up a couple flyers at work and in a couple coffee shops. By far, I think the mailing lists where the most effective. They are SeaFunc and LispSea.
Okay, time to get McCrack'n on the text.
