We have a Slack.com account for CampJS, everyone who has a ticket should have received an invite to join. If you haven't got one, please let us know (here, or in some other way).

This should solve a bunch of problems as long as we can get enough bandwidth to be connected while at the venue! The mobile apps are good but the best features for are us are going to be the topic-specific channels, announcement capabilities and also file-sharing should come in very handy.

Please sign up, we can start talking even before the event!

Also, Slack.com has a great API, you might want to consider having a play with that and see what you can come up with for CampJS!

I've just arrived home from my CampJS/JSConf tour and I wanted to make sure I distributed as much love as possible to everyone who helped make CampJS happen. There's a lot of moving parts that need to come together and I hope to shed some light on how much of a community/group effort CampJS is.

• Sanity checking the campjs finances
• Sanity checking the size of emails I send out
• Being overall pretty cool
• Cutting stickers
• Taping down all the power cables at the far end of the hall

Thanks to everyone who helped clean up.

Thanks to my co-organisers @nigelr and @geoffreyd for their guidance, help keeping things on track and overall ensuring CampJS was a success.

Thanks to everyone for making CampJS happen. You're all very good.

Lots of great stuff up here already: https://plus.google.com/communities/106906604683614333625

Information about times, etc about busses/etc to/from CampJS should go here.

I'm really sorry! Artwork was decent but the way it was printed was an absolute disaster. Let's not do that again.

Many Australian developers have lots of cool stuff we simply never hear about, and it'd be good to be able to provide a lot more support and exposure for locally grown software.

CampJS will run an official "show off your open sources" time slot, where everyone gets a chance to give a quick overview of their open source stuff. Slots could be limited to 10 mins so everyone gets a chance.

This will be held in a dedicated breakout room.

Need to decide whether to schedule these talks upfront or ad-hoc, unconference style.

Please leave a comment on this thread if you'd be interested in this.

Halloween (October 31) is my favourite holiday of the year, so I was thinking if people are interested we could do something for Halloween at CampJS on the Friday night?

Not wanting to create too much work for anyone but we could program some scary robotic props using johnny-five, bake some halloween cupcakes, and people could dress up in costumes if they want

Who's in?

This looks like a pretty neat service ... we might have to just make sure it can run offline.

https://github.com/play/play

@pomke Can you check my draft code of conduct?

http://campjs.com/code-of-conduct.html

It would be useful if we had an open (or semi open) webserver at campjs that people could put their projects on.

Perhaps hosting a NPM mirror on it would be good too.

Every now and then files needs to be exchaned between users. If it's 1 to 1 and both on mac os then airdrop works well.

However would be good to have a better way to exchange files.

I recommend to make TorrentSync official way to exchange files at campjs
http://labs.bittorrent.com/experiments/sync.html

Any better alternatives?

Could we please have a shared local npm mirror for the next campjs?

I understand that some people had npmd or their own copy of the npm couchdb database but it would be great if this could be set up via transparent proxy for everyone to use, to reduce the load on the external connection, and make it fast for people to install packages to follow along with talks/workshops

Could we have some lightning talks for presenters on the Friday night, as a way to give everyone an easy way to get an overview of all the talks and workshops? Each talk would be a quick blurb about what the talk is about, who it is aimed at, and how much fun it will be.

• allow ~60-90 seconds per talk/workshop, up to 120 seconds for a talk+workshop combo
  • that should keep it within about 30 mins
• speakers submit 1-2 slides when submitting their summaries etc. (i.e. before the camp), this could be in the form of a pull request to a reveal.js html file.

The talks could be run just before or after the schedule is released, so that everyone can decide what to attend while they watch or while everything is fresh in their mind.

Wifi and local network connectivity was a big challenge for the last campjs. Let's all put on our propeller hats and think of creative ways to make the next campjs better.

Same as last Camp:

Bring your old Tech books! Stop lining your shelves with books you won't read again because you think it makes you look smart or fancy. They're a pain in the ass to move around, and they're probably a fire hazard. Give them to someone who will read them!

Bring as many books as you can, no php books though.

Make room for campjs-iv.

Continuation of discussion at nodebotsau/nbdau#10

I put in a workshop proposal on this topic yesterday, keen to be involved:)

I can bring my own experimenters kits (upgraded to less dodgy Arduino clones than last time) and we could also use the NBD SimpleBot kits.

I'm working on adding more mobile robot specific exercises to node-ardx at the moment (locomotion, sensors etc)

Go there for chat.

Going to need volunteer tutors for the various nodeschool workshops. Focus will be on the core workshops.

Proposed workshops and currently assigned mentors:

Learn You Node

• @rvagg
• @SomeoneWeird
• @pomke
• @timoxley
• @deoxxa

Stream Adventure

• @rvagg
• @timoxley

Bytewiser

• @deoxxa
• @rvagg

Functional Javascript

• @timoxley
• @pomke

Workshops will run twice.

If there's enough interest we'll perhaps do some of the electives.

There's enough quality learning material here that we could make these the sole workshops for CampJS, but perhaps should design a cross cutting pathway that goes up in skill across the workshops e.g. some js basics with functional js, then some learn you node, then some streams, then bytewiser then some more functional js, harder learn you node exercises, etc.

Really, really need a javascript beginners workshop.

Some labels or a CONTRIBUTING.md would help perhaps.

We should have some form of standard employer pitch document. Something simple that we can give to employers to convey the importance of this event, and the expected advantages and outcomes it will have for their dev staff.

My initial thoughts are that it should be a simple markdown file in a github repo, that we can then > html > pdf when required.

Presenters!

I have put most/all of the session descriptions I have so far up on the website:

http://campjs.com/#sessions

Please review your session and send me a pull request with any changes you'd like to make.

If your session is not up there yet… please fork, add it and send me a pull request! 👍

If you've got any questions, about either the website or the session, please let me know either in the comments below, or via email: [email protected].

@garrows pointed out in a separate issue that there are some limitations to collaboration for people who are shy about large crowds and new people. For example, standing up with a mic and introducing a project is very daunting for some, and trying to track down the writer of a project card by asking around may be equally intimidating.

I think it is worth giving some specific thought to this area to help more people have even more amazing experiences.
