- davidw 17y agoResumes are all fine and good, but it still takes time (as per my other comment) and real world experience together. Or at least that's what I've gathered from everything here that I've read about it...
- nishantmodak 17y agoResumes cannot 'capture' the 'actual' work experience. they need to do a dummy project after the matching to see for themselves how well they gel together!
- mmt 17y agoBut not a better venue, sadly. Snarkiness aside, constructive criticism: Somewhere accessible by train and car would be ideal. Downtown PA has, at best, mediocre freeway access and parking. Somewhere quieter than a bar or pool hall might be more conducive to conversation. As much as I'm ashamed to admit it, the "trendy" impression I have of Blue Chalk is a personal turn-off. Besides, I'd want my potential co-founder to be frugal enough to avoid such an establishment pre-funding. Perhaps something like the Hacker Dojo?
- alain94040 17y agoGood point. We'll probably change the venue to something very quiet, once we find a better host. I asked Sun. Hacker Dojo is a good idea too, but we'd need to find a host (otherwise it's $100/month to be a member?).

- veemjeem 17y agoHacker Dojo is probably ideal. I hate having "real" discussions at Blue Chalk. It's decently quiet around 1pm, but it gets pretty loud around 5pm and later. So unless you guys hold it at a decently quiet venue, i probably won't bother attending.
