Thursday 18th June 2009. 6pm - 9.30pm.
Hosted at the London Google Engineering Office by the Google Open Source Team.
Belgrave House, 76 Buckingham Palace Road, London, SW1W 9TQ. Map
We can't think of a fun topic so instead we're going to open it to pretty much anything you want to speak about - any language, technology, framework, architectural approach, process or shape of corner.
To give you some ideas, in previous sessions we've talked about:
Joe Walnes, Neil Dunn, Malcolm Rowe, Zak Cohen, Jon Skeet, Matt Godbolt
Take the tube (Victoria, District and Circle lines) or bus (multiple routes, including the 38 and 73 from the West End) to Victoria Station, and we're 3 minutes' walk from the station.
When you arrive, in the main ground floor reception, tell the receptionist that you're visiting Google. You register there, then take the lift to the 5th floor, where you can sign in to the Google reception; when you arrive up there, please ask for the Open Source Jam event.

In a nutshell, it's a pretty informal evening, we ask developers who have ideas or are already working on them to come and engage others to collaborate and code for your open source project. In a way, it will be like what goes on in the corridors, between sessions at a conference, except without the sessions. So you get to tell others about your idea and get new interested folks to work on your projects.
Anyone who wants to work on a fun project. You may have an idea and need more help or are already working on an open source project and want to work with others, or you'd like to get involved in a new open source project and meet like minded developers. Or perhaps you've got nothing better to be doing on a Thursday night than hanging around with a flock of opensourcerers and hack.
Other interesting people to code with. A space to hang around in. Computers and wifi. Oh, and lots of delicious pizza.
Some people may choose to present a 5 minute lightning talk on what they're doing. Then little groups will form and people will work together on code! We'll encourage contributing good things back to open source projects, or maybe the launch of new projects.
The only thing you really need to bring is yourself. If you have a laptop you like to develop on, please bring that too.
It's intentionally on a school-night as that allows many people to attend who would struggle during the day because of their job commitments.
Five mins lightning talk. If you want to bring slides or a demo, please do, but don't feel you need to - talking and/or whiteboards is just as good. Remember your audience are techy open source geeks. If you feel like giving a talk (and we'd love you if you did), please let us know.
