Grand opening!

This is the first post in my new blog. (though "Russian" is my native language, I will be using English)

I have pestered the idea of "Sandbox" for a year and it just happened to start on its own. Like an initiative that doesn't involve a direct reward for the effort it has all the risks of dying too soon but my hopes are high this time.

About me.
Name: Ivan Kirkorau
Occupation: software developer (and all other roles), trainer, sorcerer...

I am spending most of my work time on training software developers in MS technologies and solving problems, all kinds. And its its toll on me, I am losing the skill of developer.

Here comes my savior. "Sandbox" - a group of enthusiasts initially inspired by me to form development team(s) and create working projects and have fun while learning and honing one's skill.

The idea has nothing new on the top, many of them died without ever completing anything. I was looking for the key ingredients that will help keep the focus and fun.
Now I hope I have found some for the starter. As it grows I will need more.

... next post about ingredients.
