I've been experimenting with a new idea that I borrowed from Starcraft 2: Streaming live coding sessions. The idea is to have fun, productive sessions on open source software where I can talk a little bit about what I am doing.

I envision a future where a lot of programmers use their open source, side-project, hobby inspired hacking sessions and that allows a lot more people to learn how to do stuff.

Today (in 2 hours) i will be streaming for 3-4 hours doing a Google App Engine application that interacts with an API I wrote for Noticias Hacker( a spanish version of HN) to get the list of github users. Then i'll use the github api to store some information and try to do a nice dashboard where you can see what the users of NH have been up to in the last week in Github.

I will start from zero, create a GAE app, a github repository and use some task queues and cron jobs.

We will have some people on Skype and hope to get some nice feedback from the chat!
