Let's get together and build some awesome stuff with code. We'll hold an impromptu co-working space where you can work on a project, pair, learn, and mingle. You can hack on anything! Any language, framework, public/open-source, personal, etc. You don’t have to have an idea to hack on! You’re more than welcome to come just to pair with someone.
Build Night is built for all skill levels. Come with what you know. If you have something you're interested in learning, Build Night is a good place to do so because there will be experts in the room to help with just about anything.
Agenda6:00 - Doors Open
We don't expect everyone to be on time. Walk-in, grab a drink, and meet someone at your table.
6:30 - Project Introductions
Tell the room who you are and what you're working on
6:40 - Build Session
Check out the projects that interested you from the introductions, welcome someone to pair with you, or continue chatting with the people around you.
8:45 - Closing Circle
We'll talk about what we did, even if it's nothing!
Project Inspirations
- Work on some open-source projects that you use that could use some help exercising their new-developer onboarding.
- Pick an issue tagged help-wanted in the repo for an open-source project you use daily.
- Create a dotfiles repo to contain your software toolbox
- Find a generative art project, learn how it works, and create your own art by making small changes to it.
- Talk about open source projects you're working on with others.
- Ask C&S about what open source projects we have that could use some brains.
- Work on building a presentation for a C&S Meetup
- Learn more about C&S Compensation Survey and how you can help make it a success
Things not to do:
- Ask for homework help and expect in-depth help. Some participants may be willing to help a little with programming homework but please expect to work on your homework by yourself maybe with some nudges.
- Ask participants to sign up for a free trial for your non-open-source commercial product to try it out. Any commercial solicitation requires prior arrangements with C&S.
Conduct Policy
We expect all participants to follow these rules within all Code & Supply venues and events, virtual or in-person, and within all official Code & Supply communication channels.
Code & Supply is dedicated to providing an enjoyable event for everyone and expects participants at our events to act in a way that promotes an environment that is harassment-free, safe, comfortable, and enjoyable to be a part of.
