Does anyone know if the folks over at the 757 Makerspace have any experience with this? I wonder if they'd be willing to give a talk / promote their space? Do we have any contacts we can reach out to and ask?
http://balderdash.co, creator of sails.js and other cool things. They have an opening right around our October 20 meetup. I, for one, think this would be awesome.
@metaskills how do you feel about getting bumped? :)
Pam Selle of Philly-JS-Dev/Comcast would like to come down to speak
Submit pull request with new logo images to logo.js.
This is pretty far in advance, but O'Connor just contacted me and they're putting us on the calendar for their new facility for (Wed) July 23rd.
Travis gave me a brief tutorial on publishing npm packages that I'd like to see as a blog post.
use some sort of jekyll pages.
Also consider getting norfolkjs.org?
Please put your agenda items here so I can get them added to the deck.
add this.
Meteor will having a worldwide launch party for their 1.0 release. Date TBD, but if we host a local party then they'll send us some swag with their new logo design. Contact is Jade Wang.
Requests or suggestions?
A few members of the group have requested a very basic Javascript meetup to learn how to make a useful web project from the start.
@shackbarth is going to do another "Sharpen Your Saw" talk/workshop.
Ideas for workshops, speakers, sponsors, locations, etc. This might be a good time to do the noob workshop since Travis and I will have some ideas from JSConf.
Looking to do this 2nd or 3rd week, probably not 3rd Monday since it is St. Patrick's Day. Smartmouth is out due to $$, but The Birch can reserve us some space on a weeknight without a deposit.
Establish a pair programming calendar that can be used by members of NorfolkJS to request and announce pairing sessions. This would be used to encourage members of NorfolkJS to work together outside of our monthly meet-ups.
This can be a Google Calendar to start or something a little more fancy.
We would need to establish the following:
@BanzaiMan (Hiro Asari) from Travis-CI is going to do an introduction to testing on Travis CI.
Location of this will likely be xTuple
T-shirts for NorfolkJS
Probably using https://www.booster.com/
Strategically, should be similar to @757rb 's strategy; have a first patch printed first using customink etc;
Then before a large even such as JSConf, wear said shirt and run a booster campaign strategically during this time to promote.
JsConf is May 28-30th.

@PamSelle will be doing a talk on JavaScript Testing and talking about her book "Choosing a JavaScript Framework."

We're looking for more sponsors specifically to provide food for the meetups. If you are interested or you know of a company that I need to reach out to, please comment below!
Any interest in us doing a JavaScript centered, Reddit style, "Ask Me Anything" in the Meetup forums? If so, we could try to woo some folks that wouldn't normally travel out our way. Could be an interesting segue into future NorfolkJS meetup topics.

We're getting a bunch of free books from our publisher sponsors (thanks @bmf and @stanzheng) to raffle off at the user groups, but I'm also open to giving books to anyone who would like to review them. This also means that we can request specific books if someone has a title they really want to read/review.
If we want to do some realtime chatting: https://gitter.im/norfolkjs
Possible partnership with Makerspace to do this on July 26/27?

Would like to see a talk on ECMAScript 6, if anyone has any ideas on someone who is contributing to the project?
I think @1kevgriff and @tjwebb also might be interested in lightning talks on the subject?
In the interest in spreading the JS-love around, I'm trying to get a list of possible locations around downtown Norfolk to host us for future meetups.
Here are the requirements:

I've got extras. Let me know if you're interested.
I'm thinking we should have a monthly blog post, published opposite our meetup for the month to maintain interest in the topic for the month. We could also publish the link via meetup and twitter when the article goes up.
January 19th - Unless Meteor gives us a better hard date for 1.0, this can be a place holder for @BretFisher's Meteor talk.
need a cool logo for the group
I like this idea from @metaskills (via @stanzheng) to do a sticker trade with other user groups. I've got a contact at EmpireJs (I already gave them stickers) that I can follow up with. If anyone would like to reach out to other groups, I can provide the stickers.
