Some of us in the bangalore-fp group have decided to form a study group on SICP. The main reason behind study groups is that it is a great way to learn any new subject or a literary work. People share what they read, ask questions, have discussions around these questions they ask etc etc. Also regular meetups provide a time tick to the group and is very motivational.
If anyone is interested, please contact me or subscribe to bangalore-fp. We will most likely have a meetup this sunday. The venue and time is not yet decided. I will update this post once it is agreed upon.
I am not sure whether this will be a “success”. I don’t even know how to measure success (in general, not just in this context). If one person manage to get inspired to complete the entire book, then I guess it can be considered as a success.
Update: The meeting is at this place called Jaaga on sunday, 14th March 2010 from 3pm.

Great idea! Would love to have been part of such a study group had I been at Bangalore.
Good idea. I am interested. Weekends work the best for me, especially Sunday mornings.
wtf is sicp?
SICP == Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs.
Google for sicp and click “I ‘m feeling lucky”.
