Excellent idea! I have toyed with the idea of checking on the Ruby guys' hack night, but I am really a Java guy, so this sounds like fun. I think a location in the Cary or RTP area would be a great as it is pretty much central. Don't have a concrete place in mind, though, that offers good (and free) Wi-Fi.

So we've been talking lately about doing things to foster more of sense of community amongst us Tri-JUG'ers... and we have done some stuff... the IRC channel, having a couple of "Tri-JUG lunches" etc. But one thing we haven't (to the best of my knowledge) done is something that the Ruby guys seem to have a lot of fun with... hack nights! So what is "hack night?" Well, it's pretty much exactly what it sound like... a bunch of us get laptops, head to a pub or restaurant or somewhere that has some combination of free wifi, beer, coffee, food (ideally all of the above!) and spend some indeterminate period of thing hacking code, playing with new stuff, arguing over the merits of the various "closures for java 7" proposals, share ideas, debate the merits of Java vs. Ruby, Dylan, Lisp, Prolog, Python, Perl, PHP, Fortran, etc. and just generally have a geeky fun time. So, who's in, at least tentatively? And any suggestions for a location and time? I'll throw out the High Park Pub over on East Whitaker Mill Rd as an option. They do have food, beer, coffee (no special coffee drinks, just plain coffee, but hey, it's got caffeine) and free wifi; and it's not usually too crowded on weeknights unless there's a game on that's of special significance locally. The downside is that power outlets can be hard to come by and they do allow smoking. Better suggestions welcomed...
