Code Dojo is a meeting of software developers in Boise, Idaho with the goal of coming together to create new products and launch new companies.

The Code Dojo meets on the 2nd Tuesday of each month in the Suite 1002 of the Hoff Building in dowtown Boise, Idaho. We usually start food around 5:30 and begin project updates arond 6:00.

If you are not familiar with downtown Boise you can check out the location on Google Maps .

Follow @codedojo on Twitter for the latest updates and meeting announcements.

The next Code Dojo meeting is going to be October 12th at The Dojo (Coding Inertia office in downtown Boise)

Big congratulations go out to Chris Brandsma and Eric Dalling for their progress and success. You have created some great products that everybody should go check out:

• * Eric - http://www.caseprogression.net
• * Chris - Times Table Helper

As many of you know I will be out of the country for the next couple of months. Chris Etcheverry will be opening the doors and making sure that you all have a place to come and code and create products. And remember to not just talk but to ship or I promise to harass you virtually.

I am super excited about tonights meeting. In addition to our usual projects we will have two new product pitches and some very interesting business related discussions.

Just to wet your appetite hear is an excerpt of one of tonights products by Michael O'Meara who is looking for other developers to join his effort:

Active Agenda is a mature Open Source project that is a Risk Management application that is still quietly in >development with two of the founders in Fresno and part time help from Bruce Perens (OSI co-founder). It is >one of the very few projects released under a OSI-Reciprocal Public License (RPL). It runs on a LAMP/WAMP >tack and is in production use by many businesses including banks, insurance companies, wineries, energy >companies, as well as my production environment with Catholic Healthcare West, University of Wisconsin, and a >health system in Cincinnati.

I've developed several extension-modules specific to healthcare. I'm seeking developers to integrate/extend the application and possibly join my company. Projects on my roadmap include:

• Integrated support for image scanners (SANE or TWAIN)
• Jasper Reports integration (user-triggered creation of pre-defined reports)
• Integration with Google Wave-in-a-Box (when available)
• Automated email notifications (manual notifications already functional)

I hope to see you tonight.

The next Code Dojo meeting will be the second Tuesday of September which is the 14th. at 5:30.

We are still meeting at the Hoff building in downtown Boise. If you've been having too much fun this Summer to drop by this first meeting of the Fall will be a great time to start.

For this meeting we are looking for the following volunteers:

• Demo their Product
• Pitch a Startup Idea ( or practice a pitch for their current effort)

If you have any questions about the upcoming meeting hit us up on Twitter @codedojo.

We've got a great Code Dojo meeting shaping up for next week.

Cory Isakson as volunteered to pitch an idea for launching and Open Source API Based CMS product. I remember working a little with Cory 6 years ago when he was involved in the then popular open source Rainbow Portal .Net project and then again when he became a power user of Dot Net Nuke. I'm excited to see where his views on CMS have evolved over the years and in hearing how he plans to turn those ideas into a product.

If you're interested in contributing to an Open Source project or just in developing content management systems come check us out next Tuesday August 10th at the Code Dojo.

Eric Dalling has volunteered to demo his Case Progression tool at the next Code Dojo meeting on August 10th. The inspiration for this tool came from Eric's job at a local law firm. He's been working hard on this tool for several months, even hacked on it at the last Code Dojo meeting.

Congratulations Eric for moving your tool to this stage. I look forward to seeing the demo.
