The idea of having weekly or monthly hack nights has worked great for Ruby users groups all over the world, but the folks at Mendicant University feel like the internet deserves a similar kind of event.

Today (Thursday June 14), we will be gathering from 18:00 - 02:00 UTC, in the #mendicant channel on Freenode. Please join us if you can! You can bring your own project to share and work on, or you can help others by offering code reviews and patches to their projects.

For more details, see this announcement.
