Our choices in wording are frequently more powerful than we realise, and we risk using this power liberally and erroneously. Let’s take a look at our ideas about how we communicate in our code and in our speech, and what effects those ideas have.

My name is Gabrielle von Koss, and I work as a developer at the Financial Times. You can find my retweeting activity on @gvonkoss

Hey @gvonkoss - thanks for your talk proposal... it would be great to hear your talk at next week's LNUG meetup - which is probably the best opportunity for you to get any feedback before JSConf.

How long is your talk?

@claireinez - you are emcee for the night - do you think we can fit in another talk?

gvonkoss commented 6 years ago

hey @admataz the talk is a little over your 20 minute limit, but I could probably tailor it down.

claireinez commented 6 years ago

What a great title for a talk! @gvonkoss were you aiming to give this a dry run at LNUG before JSConf EU? If so, we should be able to fit three speakers in next week but it would definitely have to be 20 mins max (we don't do Q&A so no need to factor that in). Otherwise we'd also be happy to have you speak at LNUG a different month. Let me know and we can schedule you in :)

Also please could you confirm that you agree to our Code of Conduct?

admataz commented 6 years ago

Great! I also think 3 talks will be ok - we've done it many times before - so if you're ok with it @claireinez...

@gvonkoss - if you can confirm that suits you - I'll get this into meetup and the website

gvonkoss commented 6 years ago

@claireinez Thanks! In all honesty, it would be a great dry run, but it is a bit of a squeeze for 20 minutes because I'm still putting finishing touches on it. I'm happy to schedule it for another month though.

And for the record, I do agree with your code of conduct, apologies for having neglected that before!

Nonetheless, thank you for being willing to slot me in!

claireinez commented 6 years ago

We could do 25 mins maybe? Or would you prefer we just schedule it in one of the coming months?

gvonkoss commented 6 years ago

I'd rather we left it for one of the coming months!

admataz commented 6 years ago

Hi @gvonkoss - make sense. How are you for June 27th?

admataz commented 6 years ago

Hi @gvonkoss. I hope all went well in Berlin?

just putting the schedule and meetup page together for later tis month. Are you still up for it?

gvonkoss commented 6 years ago

Hey @admataz, I'm sorry I missed that last message, the lead up to the conference has been a bit hectic. I'm afraid it's all been slightly overwhelming, and I need a little break. Is it alright if I reopen the proposal in a few months?

admataz commented 6 years ago

Hey @gvonkoss - of course - that's no problem. Let us know when you're ready. Meanwhile please feel free to join us for pizza and a drink at the next meetup!

admataz commented 5 years ago

Hi @gvonkoss - I hope you are well? Any thoughts on a date for this talk at LNUG? We would love to have you speak!! Let us know what suits you for the coming months...

gvonkoss commented 5 years ago

Hey @admataz! I am doing alright thanks, how is LNUG going?

I may be a total buzzkill here, but I don't think I'm going to be here for any of the LNUG meet ups until the end of the year 😱

When are the October/November/December (is there one in December even?) meet ups, just to make sure?

admataz commented 5 years ago

Hey @gvonkoss - all good thanks!

Dates of upcoming meetups:

No pressure - we can think of picking it up again some time in the new year...

gvonkoss commented 5 years ago

(: I appreciate it.

I think I'll have to be next year—I'm not in London for either dates on October or November! But January? Could work!

admataz commented 5 years ago

great! I'll ask again closer to the time!

admataz commented 5 years ago

Ahhh @gvonkoss ! January Meetup came and went! it was great, but may have been even better if you were there!

If you still have an appetite for this talk - please let me know - we are full up with speakers for Feb, but maybe March?

gvonkoss commented 5 years ago

😱 @admataz I'm sorry I didn't get back to you! I'm glad to hear you've started off the year well ☺️

Let's book it in—March sounds good to me!

admataz commented 5 years ago
