Today we had the second Free Code Camp Bolingbrook Meetup. Only a handful of people showed up but that was ok with us. We were still able to collaborate and learn from each other, share progress, and make plans for future meetings.
A while back I had followed the process listed on FCC to add a study group by requesting it be added to the list. Several months had passed and our group had not been added yet, so I decided to attempt to submit my first pull request to add our group. To my surprise, I found a fellow camper had put in our pull request (along with a list of other locations) and it is currently pending to be added. Very exciting!!! So hopefully this will help us grow our group as well.
The whole reason I keep trying to start a group in the suburbs is to help us learn from each other, attend some meetups or conferences together and maybe even try our luck at a hackathon. I had already accomplished several of these goals last year with the Beginner Java Group and hope to spread this same encouragement in the new Bolingbrook Free Code Camp group.
