NodeConf Session Authoring Hackathon #19

Open mikeal opened 10 years ago

mikeal commented 10 years ago

There's a lot to write for this year :)

I was thinking that maybe we should put together a hackathon. Some people will be in town for JSFest so we could do it around then and get a good number of people in the same room. Of course we'd also want to pull in remote people if we can.

Thoughts?

I thinks @isaacs will have an East Bay office by then :)

This is a great idea! I’d propose more than one (i.e. one around JSFest, another just before NodeConf).

@rockbot yeah, it makes sense to do more than one, I just figured the first one wasn't going to happen until around JSFest.

rvagg commented 10 years ago

I think I might be free on the 1st and 2nd of March for this, then also probably directly after JSFest but I'll be wanting to get home pretty quickly and I haven't booked flights yet (will be doing soon!) so if we can come up with a date asap that'd be preferable for me.

Also, any time during JSFest is fine for me too; I'm occupied on the 7th for NodeBase and the 11th and 12th for NodeSchool stuff and can probably be flexible around those dates and times (evenings?).

Workshopper rewrite is mostly done in terms of core functionality, it's a lot more decoupled and modular now so you ought to be able to plug in all sorts of custom stuff to do what needs to be done for validation (and even input). I'll write it up, I probably need to spend a day writing an authoring guide of some kind, but I'd love to help in-person with anyone that needs assistance, it also helps for me to see the kinds of pain points people have when trying to do their whacky validations--I generally don't hear about it because the kinds of people writing workshoppers tend to be clever enough to work around problems they may have.

A few questions for people:

Doing it during means that some people won't be able to make it I'm sure.

rockbot commented 10 years ago

In order of preference:

1) After JSFest 2) On a weekend

hueniverse commented 10 years ago

Just to make sure I understand. This will be for NodeConf presenters to come together and work on the session plans?

mikeal commented 10 years ago

Yes, mostly for writing workshopper courses (which I hear Ben is doing for hapi)

hueniverse commented 10 years ago

I think Ben and Wyatt are. Not sure where that stands. Not something I care about much to provide work time for... :-)

Raynos commented 10 years ago

I would love to do a workshopper authoring hacking session.

Get together build a couple out and make some improvements to workshopper itself depending on what we run into.

rvagg commented 10 years ago

learnyounode is using the new workshopper now, inline comments are in the code, docs for workshopper itself are still a work in progress sorry.

mikeal commented 10 years ago

Does someone have a space they can offer up? Maybe NPM Inc?

rvagg commented 10 years ago

I'm at Joyent all Friday, ppl can come over Friday arvo any time and hang out, I'm not sure how long NodeBaseCamp is going to go for but I imagine enthusiasm may start to wane as we get towards mid-afternoon so I'm happy to talk workshopper. Weekend is also good for me, wherever.

Raynos commented 10 years ago

Since everything is going to be workshoppers it would be cool to work through this.

I'm free saturday - tuesday
