[BristolBathPM] Perl 6 hackathon?

[Lyle]

Hi All,
  I've been thinking at this would be a good idea. I know some Perl 
groups across the world have regular Perl 6 hackathons, but nothing 
seems to be happening in the UK. With the growing interest we seem to be 
getting in Perl 6 at each meet, I think it'd be great to have a Perl 6 
introductory hackathon.
  There is rumour that one of our members has a large house with a pink 
BBQ  ;-) Maybe they'd be interested in putting this together? From what 
I gather none of us have actually written any Perl 6 yet. I'm thinking 
we could have a "no knowledge needed" policy and it'd be 'fun' (and a 
lot more productive helping each other understand) to give it a go for 
the first time together.
  If this becomes regular we could probably help with development of 
Rakudo by submitting unit tests, etc.

Thoughts on this?
