Code and Learn at Node.js Interactive in Amsterdam

[mikeal]

So, I'd like to resurrect this event to run either before or after the Node.js Interactive events in Amsterdam and Austin.

We need to figure out what this will look like so that we can budget it correctly.

As a reminder, this program was intended as a series of workshops for getting people working on Node.js itself. The goal was that by the end of the workshop they would have a PR open, or be close to it.

We need to put together a list of subjects, people that can properly mentor the subject, and if those people need their travel covered we need to know where they are coming from. Also, for each subject and mentor allocation we need to figure out the maximum size of the attendees.

I'd be up for helping with this, obviously dependent on me attending the events

Amsterdam is my home turf (after a fashion) so I'll volunteer. I request remuneration only for the train ticket but I do tend to travel 1st class exclusively so there's that.

happy to chip in

We really need someone to step up to lead this effort at Amsterdam and Austin (doesn't need to be the same person each time).

I can help as a mentor on site. Going to be fairly busy I think so I don't want to overcommit as 'lead'

@mikeal would this be running during the collaborator summit? Do we have resources to offer individuals, potentially with a focus on under represented groups, continued support after a code and learn?

I think it might be particularly interesting to pair current collaborators with new collaborators. It might also be great if we can offer some sort of scholarship to individuals in need so that they can focus a continued effort on getting involved.

Which day is this at in Amsterdam?

I may be able to help but I definitely don't want to lead it.

[bnoordhuis]

I can lead but it depends on what day it is. (EDIT: In Amsterdam.)

[mikeal]

Morning of the 17th.

[addaleax]

I’ll definitely want to be there and can probably also invest some time into it beforehand.

[bnoordhuis]

How morning is morning? 17th works for me but I need to drive up from Groningen. I can be there around 11 am.

[addaleax]

9:00 – 12:00 (http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/node-interactive-europe/program/agenda)

[bnoordhuis]

Thanks, that page was still blank last I checked. :-)

I don't think I'll be able to make 9 am, I'd have to leave before 6 am.

Heya, do you need anything from the events team?
