I am in the same boat....

I think we are missing a big point here, live-coding is about
performances! I, personally, really like the idea of a
convention/gathering... what if the live-coding collective started
organizing small get-together in various cities to allow people to
"show their stuff", talk about it, maybe do little trainings. let
people get their hands dirty!
