September Events about code-and-learn HOT 19 CLOSED

I'll be in Waterford for NodeConf.eu. That said, IBM is already leading two of the workshops and we have full agendas for those already. Not sure if the agenda is going to leave much room for more.

@mikeal put me down for London.

from code-and-learn.

@iancrowther any thoughts about venue?

from code-and-learn.

i have a few, it depends on what capacity your after?

start small with 30-50 and venues are good to go. more than that we need to make some calls but I have a list from my LNUG searches.

I need more info really. is this a big bang, big PR job? do we want 100 in the room?

we need to be able to get enough experienced heads in the room to actually teach the materials

from code-and-learn.

@iancrowther less than 50 for sure :)

from code-and-learn.

ok so we need some materials pronto hey. anything in the works?

from code-and-learn.

can we leverage some of the going native bits from nodeschool?

from code-and-learn.

@mikeal ok so I have a venue primed.

do we have a landing page so I can tkt and PR?

from code-and-learn.

anyone used any cool pairing tools? Atom maybe?

we could get funky and do a cross border pairing session?

from code-and-learn.

materials

So, the idea here is that we get people diving in to areas that are not already widely understood. That sort of excludes areas with a nodeschool tutorial already written about them.

Instead, I'm pulling in all the contributors that can make it and asking them to write up issues and find things people can work on with a little guidance. The mentors will be providing that guidance in person on a one on one basis.

This means that what gets covered will be heavily dependent on who is there. If I'm the only mentor there we're gonna do a lot of work on the website! :)

website

I'll get to work on this ASAP.

London! Ya'll are amazing!

from code-and-learn.

So, the board meeting is pushed back a week so I'm going to go ahead and move forward this week making these happen. The trick is that I can't commit to spending any money whatsoever until the board approves.

Let's get the word out about London and try to track down mentors.

@iancrowther do you think the best way to capture this is to create a new issue here for the London even and have mentors just signup? after a week of that maybe switch to signing up mentors via tito.

Side note: any of the London crew going to make it to NodeConf.eu in Waterford?

from code-and-learn.

@mikeal - A london thread for sure, noise sucks.

I'll announce tomorrow at LNUG and see

a) who wants to come
b) who wants to help
c) who can mentor

We will really need to push for mentors so a sign up form alone won't cut it. we need to tweet and direct email so lets put a list of names together on a gsheet and reach out. we could just '@' them on the github thread if thats easier.

No worries on the meeting, just push on.

Can you put up a GH page by tomorrow evening? super basic so we have somewhere to send traffic. Im in back to back meetings tomorrow so dont have the capacity.

I'd get ti.to up asap and out into the wild, eg this week ath the latest. I can do that as I have the venue details.

.eu! I just cant get to it unless cian hooks me up with a unicorn tkt, really really want too!

from code-and-learn.

@iancrowther for mentors maybe we should just track down any nearby
contributors and push them to sign up? I doubt there are that many, but we
don't need that many, this isn't NodeSchool :) In fact, the kinds of people
who usually mentor a NodeSchool might be great candidates to attend this :)
