hi @neshka - thanks for getting the todo list going for this month... how do you feel about taking on the MC duties this month? Let me know if you're up for it.

[neshka]

Hey @admataz, yes I could! I need to confirm with my manager if I can leave work earlier that day (I travel from outside of London) but I think it can be done :)

[admataz]

@hewIngram - we spoke about running a node user feedback session... once again the month has caught up with me... here's the central discussion.

https://github.com/nodejs/user-feedback/issues https://github.com/nodejs/user-feedback/issues/115

and this: https://docs.google.com/document/d/129syiwgsn_doJ2TD9zRqjSRN8qZEW9xj0xwPcEXGaSc/edit

any thoughts?

I think the outline in the doc is a little heavy for our format (recommended time 60mins? no thanks) it would be good to start off with a light "who's doing what" - get an overview of how our members are using node in what contexts - get a rough idea of who understands what about contributing to node and node's update cycle. May lay the groundwork for something like identifying specific issues. Give ourselves 10-15 minutes.

@lnug/organisers @lnug/contributors

Who's around tomorrow to help. It's going to be a good night! Great talks - and looking like a full house.

[hewIngram]

I'll be there - can arrive earlyish to help setup and more than happy to run the jobs table. @admataz and @seanmtracey we should stagger it and the talks table maybe so people can get to both?

[admataz]

@hewIngram - yes I agree - let's stagger it.

[seanmtracey]

Works for me! I'm going to be a little late to this evening's LNUG, so if we do one after the other, I should be around in time to help with whichever table is second :)
