I just touched on the development aspect I found interesting, but I understood the underlying intent: the "other" things. I agree about group lunch being very important for developers working together as one. I've experienced both sides of the coin and there is a discernible difference in relationships/familiarity between the two. I'm curious if this group setting can ever be replicated virtually. I don't think Soylent IV & Skype will do the trick. :)
I'd love to see a postmortem blog post after the next class from both students and maintainers and what did and didn't work with the virtual program.
