Learning stuff!

[Executable]

Hey TF2 division! I had a thought about something maybe cool to do.
So, we all know we have some interesting and cool people in TF2 division, with a wide breadth of knowledge, why don't we turn that into something tangible and add to the community as a result?
I propose a Vent/Forums Knowledge (Insert Day Here) event. Simply put, take a piece of easy comprehensible info from your favorite subject/field/weird things, and make a forum post about it in a designated thread, or maybe announce it in a designated room in vent.
It'd be cool to hear what people come up with, and I'm excited to learn about new things. (They don't even have to be academically related- they could be about how to properly cut down a tree, or maybe make a forum post correctly).
So what d'ya'll think?

Sure, sounds interesting.

I think this is a good idea. It'd be great to learn new things from everyone.

Now, if only I had some hobby to share... Haha.

I'm sure you have something Kazoo.

I don't really care whether or not this event-type thing happens. It's not bad or good if it happens.

LETS DO IT :w00t:

You could always drop box this so leadership could see it easier

 

[ShawnJ]

if you would like to prove 1+1 is indeed 2 lemme know. It only takes 2 pages.

 

[Alyde]

Oh man, I think this is a great idea. I'm in, and I hope this happens.

 

[Additional Pylons]

Fantastic idea!

Hey guys, so I thought about it some more, and I thought that maybe we should try to do this in Vent (or in this thread) tomorrow at 8/7 central, AKA 6 mountain time.
Just prepare a small tidbit of knowledge, then make sure to ask questions. All the cool stuff is learned after a small tidbit of info hits you.
General Rules are to just pick a small, possibly obscure tidbit of trivia, and perhaps be educated about it enough to answer some intro questions. No ridiculing anybody for not understanding a concept, and don't hesitate to continue to ask questions if you don't understand. There is no such thing as a 'dumb' question.
Finally, make use of anything at your disposal. Totally irrelevant stuff is entirely appreciated. Subjects can range from how to clean a toilet properly to the great dynastic battles of 3450 b.c.e. Singapore. Seriously, everything is fair game.
Alright, thanks guys! If you have a better time to schedule it at, or a better way of handling it, then make sure to post back and keep everybody else informed.

Thanks!

Sounds good.

Although I do hope someone picks a fun topic. This is a social event, not a classroom. (not that I'd mind talking about something educational/sophisticated)

Well, that's entirely the idea. What's the point of having a classroom when most of us already have class? Haha.

 

[Sebax]

Sounds like a less useless and more fun version of the Social Hour!

nah jokes Ily Noise. it does sound interesting though

 

[Executable]

Whoop, nevermind, looks like may-ish. More coming soon.

not sure why I didn't quote this before, but did you dropbox it Executable? we shouldn't have to run "un-official" events.
