Hi Folks,

I would like to use the nodebot logo and the JS animation from the website for my talk at Node.js Interactive 2015.
I hope you don't mind, but I would like to give proper credit in the slides: how should I cite it? At this point I have "taken from the nodebots.io website".

Thanks!

Add me as a collaborator

I've been using the definition that "NodeBots are robots that are controlled by node.js", as per https://github.com/nodebots/www/blob/gh-pages/index.html#L9

This seems like a usefully broad and inclusive definition, that is easy to explain to others.

The trade off with inclusivity is you might end up with people at the party that you don't agree with. The example that led to this issue is the proliferation of things that could be called NodeBots under the simple definition, but only support blocking delays, rather than temporal style non-blocking task queues, which is pretty limiting if you need to keep reading sensors whilst orchestrating actuators. See: The talk by @rwaldron for a better explanation http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HT2e4QLGDLs

I'd suggest that the definition is fine, and that a system that only supports blocking execution is still a NodeBot if JS is doing the leg work, it's just not a very capable one. I think it'll work better if we make people feel included under the NodeBots banner, and then help them figure out how to make more capable systems.

Hi, I would like to start a nodebots chapter for Tunis, Tunisia.
We already exist as a javascript community as you can see;

• site web: https://js-community.tn
• github org: https://github.com/TunisianJS
• talks archive repo: https://github.com/TunisianJS/talks
• our summit: https://summit.js-community.tn/

but we would like to add the nodebots brand and represent the concept in our country.
I will be co-organizing this chapter with all the @TunisianJS crew; @Rebaiahmed, @ChamsBouzaiene, @heithemmoumni, @mnmajd, @chaoukibenfradj, @AmiriHoussem, @thevexx and @mabotn.

https://www.meetup.com/MakersOfPhoenix/events/252682385/

I'm interested in organizing the Los Angeles chapter.

Hello my name is Néstor, I am an electronic engineer, I realize projects of robotics, domotics, automation and now last internet themes of things.
I learned about this community, which I liked very much and I would like to be able to create it in my country.
I would like to know how I could do this and have your support.

Thank you

Nestor

Hi I am interrested to learn all about NodeBots and help to his developtment at my country

I am wondering why NodeBots , not yet in India

I can't figure out where the email goes and I got no response when emailing it. I think it's not being checked. What should we do with it? I'm happy to do the admin work to make it point anywhere (but I need DNS access). We should also maybe instead redirect people to event staff and/or project maintainers.

India

When forking the repo, if it's called "www" then it's likely to clash with other forks also called "www" and is also kinda hard to search for in a list where there is no description or link to the parent.

Hi,
How would I get in contact with anyone at NodeBot in regards to an enterprise partnership?

Cheers
Mikael

👋 Hi, we'd like to start a NodeBots meetup. We, as in, @rickheere, @stefanmirck, @traumverloren and yours truly. How should we go about sorting that?

Regards!

I'd like to add back some photos of events. We have an awesome community and showing who we are and what we're doing would be nice.

Meetups currently don't have many rules.

• They have to follow the code of conduct
• They should be about learning from each other
• They usually meet monthly and participate in nodebots day

These rules however aren't a guide on how to run a meetup. Can people share how they run theirs? And maybe we can put together a small document on this.

Thanks to @salmanfaris for raising this.

How can I start a meetup, please?

http://forums.nodebots.io is giving me "502 Bad Gateway" error from nginx. I found http://forum.nodebots.io is a working link, but seems to be pointed to same page as http://blog.nodebots.io .

Where would be the best place for forum/discussion on nodebots ??

"Even if you don't have an Arduino you can still make a start via the nodebot-workshop which will teach you the basics of johnny-five through a series of code challenges"

I am not sure what "make a start" means....maybe a typo?

Hiya, I did a whois lookup when i noticed the website was down.

We'll meet up in Pune, India and hack on Arduinos, Rasberry Pis, quadcopters, robots, and any other gizmos that need more input.

The event is planned in first quarter of 2021, inviting all enthusiasts to join US in hands on non-sim hackathon and coding challenges. You will get to learn new tweaks of Arduino and some more on Sphero.

See you there!

This is the India Chapter of NodeBots.
Let's begin the exploration...
Please share tips and process

BocaJS.org and Palm Beach JS would like to join this years (2018)'s NodeBot Days.

We will be hosting it in our usual location and even are lining up sponsorship.

any advice would be VERY welcome.

I have attended the MiamiJS event and want to make an additional event just north of that location.

Let's create robots

Hey all :-)

So, I'd like to nominate the following logo as the "official" logo for NodeBots:

The little robot was introduced to International NodeBots Day by Julián Duque - it was created by Julien Deveaux, The Noun Project. We'll have to attribute it to him, but I like that it's got personality without any potential copyright issues.

I know that we've been using the (Johnny-Five logo)[https://github.com/rwldrn/johnny-five/raw/master/assets/sgier-johnny-five.png] as our de-facto logo since we started, but I think it's time NodeBots as a whole branched out a little. Don't get me wrong - I love Johnny-Five and will evangelize the hell out of it. I just think that j5 is its own thing and deserves to have its own identity, separate from the broader NodeBots community.

Would love to hear your thoughts on the matter :-)

NodeBots of Nairobi is a semi regular meetup to hack on hardware using JavaScript.

Hi,

We're first to start NodeBots meetup in Asia. 🙂 Its a humbling feeling to be a part of this revolution!
We at SkyImpel promote free & open-source technologies and offer bootcamps and workshops. We align with NodeBots code of conduct. 👍

Peace.

This is our community projects, all the projects will be provided both in english and uzbek languages

Hello Nodebots community. I am a student in computer science living in Mauritius. I am interested in starting a nodebots community here. I am a big fan. I can't wait to get started!

Hi everyone at NodeBots.

do we want to continue using .io or use one of the others (currently forward to .io)

I have:

.org
.net
.us (this one I would say no since we want international)
