Hi Marcel,
Not sure. I'm kind of out of the loop.
Not quite live coding but what used to be called "Melbourne patching
circle" is reconvening this Sunday (7th of October) (see below). It's a
cool space and you might meet some interesting people.
Another idea is to monitor exp-melb blog, although livecoding is maybe a
little out of scope:

Cheers,
Ross.

Hi All,
We've finally resurfaced with a new name, a new format but the same
awesomeness, and venue, as before.
Events/ meetups will now be the first Sunday of each month starting with
the 7th of October.
If you're on farcebook join us there or feel free to make suggestions/
discussions here and pass it on to anyone you think will be interested!

and the info:
/On the first Sunday of every month, Open LABs will explore
the wonderful world of creative electronics and programming,
be it in science, nature or your trusty computer. It is a
space where artists, musicians, engineers, media developers,
hermits, freaks, geeks and those who are ‘just plain curious’
to have a place to share/teach/learn electronic art and their
creative passions.
So bring whatever current project you may be working on, or
just simply show up. These meetings provide an opportunity for
growth, collaboration and encouragement through public
discussion, exploration of ideas and peer review for your
private experiments, finished works, and even broken or
unfinished works.
People from all backgrounds and levels of experience are welcome.
Following on from the previous format of the "Patching
Circle", Open LABs seeks to create an open platform where
people can share their skills, project developments as well as
all the usual hacking, patching, code, soldering and
audio-visual chatting.
Each Open LAB will begin with talks from fellow guests that
seek to formally share their work with the group, and then end
in an all out free-form open discussion and hands on tinkering
space:
1. TALKS
Each month Open LABs will provide a space for 2-3 guests to
talk about their work and share their experiences. We will
draw from a range of disciplines such as science, new media,
sound, music, architecture, you name it! After these talks
there will also be an open show and tell where people can
present a finished, or unfinished, work, or make a call out to
the community to help troubleshoot a problem they are having.
If you would like to be part of the talks, please contact us!!
2. TINKERING and DISCUSSION
After the talks we will look at the more free-form discussion
and hands-on aspects of project development. We don't have any
expectation of people's skills, this is a forum for both
beginners and experts alike. Our philosophy is that there's
always something new to learn, no matter what your background.
This will be a free form amalgamation of what people have
brought along to share, show, or experiment with others.
Guests can use this space for developing conceptual focus for
a project, informal peer review, seeking collaborations for
projects, connect with others in the community, or just use
the time to "hang
out" with other fellow tinkerers!
