What we all need is pro-active participation.\n\t<\/li>\n<li><i>Reach<\/i>: We are stronger together when we act on an action together\n\t<\/li>\n<li><i>Learning<\/i>: A software developer career has one guaranteed requirement.<br \/>\n\tYou must be able to learn. You must have an aptitude for continuous learning.\n\t<\/li>\n<li><i>Experience<\/i>: My own experience at the<br \/>\n\t<a title=\"JavaPosse Roundup 2009\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mindviewinc.com\/Conferences\/JavaPosseRoundup\/\">JavaPosse Roundup 2009<\/a> in Crested Butte and<br \/>\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessweek.com\/magazine\/content\/07_20\/b4034080.htm\">OpenSpace<br \/>\n\tConference<\/a><br \/>\n\tled to my belief that developers and designer really have to D.I.Y (Do It Yourself).<br \/>\n\tIn other words, saliently said: Don&#8217;t wait for the monkey [company] to feed you.<br \/>\n\tFeed your own brain first!\n\t<\/li>\n<li><i>Freedom<\/i>: I have a free weekend in October 10-12th to order to stage, host and\/or collaborate\n\t<\/li>\n<li><i>Ire<\/i>: How come the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.siliconvalley-codecamp.com\/\"><br \/>\n\tSilicon Valley Group<\/a> can organise an event for their region of the world?<br \/>\n\tAnd our beloved London with a population of 7 millions people, can&#8217;t do ++++?\n\t<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n<\/p>\n<p>You can also find my announcement as an<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/audioboo.fm\/boos\/47140-would-like-to-arrange-the-london-jvm-languages-code-camp\"><br \/>\n<b>AudioBoo: Would Like To Arrange The London JVM Languages Code Camp <\/b><br \/>\n<\/a>\n<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>\nNB: The reason I have not advertised this under the JAVAWUG brand is because JVM Languages<br \/>\nmeans an organisation other than Java. Also it respects other communities that already<br \/>\nexist in parallel with the Java groups<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nSo my idea is to have a camp weekend style with these requirements: \n<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Saturday (full day) and Sunday (shorter day)\n   <\/li>\n<li>Friday night before the camp weekend, optionally, be a set up and introduction\n   <\/li>\n<li>Strict rules: Everyone must be ready to go with software, laptop <i>before<\/i> they can participate the camp day<br \/>\n   begins. This is so we do not waste time installing software during the event.\n<\/li>\n<li>\n   Multiple tracks: JavaFX, Ruby, Groovy, Scala, etc\n   <\/li>\n<li>\n   Make it open space in principle, allow folks to self organise.\n   <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nIf you are anyway interested in helping make this idea a reality, please contact me,<br \/>\n<i>now<\/i>, with subject <span style=\"color: rgb(204, 0, 0);\">&#8220;LONDON JVM CC&#8221; <\/span>or simply <span style=\"color: rgb(204, 0, 0);\">&#8220;LJVMCC&#8221;<\/span> at my electronic<br \/>\nmail address of <b>peter dot pilgrim at gmail dot com<\/b> or tweet me as (<b>peter_pilgrim<\/b>).&nbsp; <b><span style=\"color: rgb(56, 118, 29);\">Action Deadline<\/span><\/b>: 18th August 2009. \n<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThanks.
