Danish Clojure Users Group

Hello everyone,
Two things:

GOTO Aarhus 2011.
As usual I’ve negotiated a discount on this years GOTO Aarhus for dcug members (GOTO is the conference formerly known as JAOO).

It is a pretty good deal with 20% discount when taking 3 conference days and optionally one conference day may be swapped with a tutorial day. Also, if we manage to sign up more than 5 people from DCUG we can get a group discount.

If you are interested please email me so we can try and arrange the group discount: kkr@trifork.com

Free meetup@GOTO Aarhus 2011.
As usual I am arranging a free Clojure users group meetup in conjunction with GOTO Aarhus. Previous meetups have featured people like Rich Hickey, Stuart Halloway and Cliff Click. This year things are a bit sad for Clojure: we don’t have Rich Hickey or any of the Clojure stars. This means that we’ll have to generate our own content

Details for registration will appear ASAP.

So let me know what you’d like to do for this years meetup.

- talks, hacking session, project presentation, or just beer and fun?

Hi,

I’m putting together a special Clojure issue of PragPub, the magazine of The Pragmatic Programmers, for July, and I’m hoping you can post the following message to the group. (I’m also the editor of the forthcoming 2nd edition of Programming Clojure.) Thank you!

Mike Swaine

PragPub, the free monthly electronic magazine for software developers from The Pragmatic Programmers, will be publishing a special Clojure issue in July, and we’re looking for articles.

I’m committed to sourcing at least one article in that issue from one of the many active Clojure user groups around the world. I’ve been a believer in developer user groups since the 1980s when I was editing Dr. Dobb’s Journal, inspired by Dennis Allison’s image of a community of developers standing on each other’s shoulders, and I know there are some great ideas out there.

So we *will* publish at least one article from a Clojure user group, and when we do, we will prominently acknowledge the user group as well as the author.

I’m speaking now to every member of this group. Write me an article. Write it in whatever format works for you, let the content dictate the length, and for guidance on style, you can’t do better than to look at any of the articles we’ve published in the past two years: http://pragprog.com/magazines. A few of them have even been about Clojure.

As for the technical level, assume the reader is an experience programmer but isn’t experienced with Clojure. Your article will probably, in one way or another, answer the question, why Clojure? It might be a Clojure success story (with a technical explanation of why Clojure was instrumental to the success), or a particular aspect of Clojure that you find interesting (with code showing how it can be used to good effect), or advice on thinking in Clojure. You probably have a better idea than any of these.

I really want to see your idea. Just send it to my email address: michael@pragprog.com. But time is critical. The deadline for articles is only about a month away: June 22. I eagerly await your brilliance.

Hello every one,
I’ve managed to arrange a free DCUG meetup in Copenhagen in conjunction with Goto CPH. We will be several Clojure “stars”: Christophe Grand and Lau Jensen, Stefan Richter and Stefan Tilkov.

Right now we have only one registration apart from the people above and myself – so come on

Time and date: May 12th, Thursday 19:15 – 20:15 / Location: Room 202
Location: GOTO Copenhagen 2011 takes place in Radisson Blu Falconer Hotel & Conference Center

Info and registration: http://gotocon.com/cph-2011/presentation/UserGroup-Meeting:%20Clojure%20stars%20and%20you

The next DCUG meetup in Aarhus will be on the 2nd of May from 16:00 at Trifork, Margrethepladsen 4, 8000 Aarhus C.. We have a few presentations prepared, and you are more than welcome to bring a pet project to show. Lets find out what people are using Clojure for in the Aarhus area, and see if we can start some collaborations (or just show off our cool projects )

(Free) sandwiches will be served, so please register at http://www.doodle.com/byave8q3wtanv6af

I had accidentally closed signup and authoring. It is now open again

Hope to hear from you

Hey,
In conjunction with Goto CPH, we have a Clojure tutorial with Christophe Grand and Lau Jensen both of whom work professionally with Clojure. I’ve attended their “Conj labs” which I highly recommend, and this is a 1-day version

More info and sign up here:

If you sign up several people, I can maybe negotiate a discount – so drop me an email: kkr@trifork.com

After a number of attacks I’ve reinstalled wordpress, uninstalling plugins. Sorry for the hassle…

More info about upcoming Clojure events soon!
