Design Patterns Study Group

I've just recently read this interesting article on O'Reilly's OnJava.Com about "Form Your Own Design Pattern Study Group". It caught my attention as I'm rather for design patterns and good practises, and this seems like a good way to get people interested and spread the word of design patterns. Although it's on a java resource website, I believe it can also be valuable for any OOP language, in particular C#. Some resources on C# Design Patterns was posted previously on my blog, and I think it'll be good to use those resources and form a design pattern study group within SgDotNet.

Here's a paper that explains how to form a study group effectively.

From the same place, some good papers written by Industrial Logic.

What do you guys think? I think it can be done within the user group, and promote best practises and design patterns, in conjection with practical sessions that icelava is doing.

As I started learning sw from in my poly days, I remember Patterns was one thing that always drew me near itself, often I found myself engaged in implementing patterns in my assignments rather that doin the assignments ;)
Anywho, I do agree with ya. It is an excellent idea, I for one would be 110% interested.
A full support from me, will do what I can for the cause :)
Cheers! Lets see this happen...

Let's see what I can do to bring about more interest in it.
