I daren't ask about your shorts!

Anyway, I noticed the birth of Sussex Digital (a meta-site similar to
the Oxford Geeks one I mentioned a while ago). From their events feed
comes this:

"Brighton Coding Dojo

The Dojo is set up to let everyone experiment with coding in a
non-competitive, collaborative, fun environment. Skill levels vary
from beginner to Jedi master. Everyone is welcome.

In the two hour session, up to twelve developers take turns working
together to solve a programming problem."

Is that another model for how this, and possibly future, SkillSwaps
might work? Less lecture, more Barcamp/hackday-style?

Or could it run parallel to SkillSwap?

Damn, I'm just frustrated at the cool stuff happening in other towns
and cities :(
