The lightning talk is an idea he picked up from his recent visit to the superhappydevhouse in California. Naturally it wasn’t long till talk turned to having a shdv-like codejam in Dublin as first proposed by Colm McHugh. Discussion rolled over into Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and with increasing momentum built on Twitter, Facebook and good old-fashioned email, Olivier wondered it the time was ripe to set up a wiki and Paul Ward stepped up and confronted the scary blank space and suggested an excellent project to get the ball rolling. I put out a tentative call for project ideas to the Social Entrepreneurs Ireland network on Wednesday night and had over 20 proposals in my inbox the next morning. The exciting thing is that there seems to be a latent hunger for this sort of event at grassroots level. And speaking of hunger there’s some significant early momentum towards cross-pollinating the event with a cook-off to feed the troops coming from Qamir (seen here pitching at Curry 2.0 in Jaipur in the Punjabi language and who has cooked for over 100 people in the past). It also turns out that the Java User’s Group were thinking similar thoughts as seen here on Paul Browne’s blog slanted towards a kindof face-off between java, php, ruby and python crowds. Which reminds me. Maybe its time to start a list of on the wiki of groups ad hoc or formal that might be interested? http://dublincodejam.pbwiki.com/ [...] [...] Last Tuesday, Paul Campbell gave RubyIreland’s first “lightning talk” (on RIO btw).

No hope of converting anybody, but as a way of exposing things that other languages do better , it would be good. Paul Niall,

That sort of topic did come up – was going to make it more controversial – a sort of ‘face off’ as to why Java / Ruby / PHP / Python / .Net was the best.

Seems like a natural fit for JUG to get involved in? Hi Paul,
Ruby Ireland are sounding out groups that might be interested in getting it on at a code jam. Seems like a natural fit for JUG to get involved in?
