July 2nd Dry Run at NPM Inc. #38

Open mikeal opened 10 years ago

mikeal commented 10 years ago

Hey everybody,

On July 2nd we're scheduled to get together and try to run through each others' workshoppers. @isaacs has been kind enough to let us host everyone at NPM Inc in Oakland, CA.

The plan is to get lunch at noon somewhere in Oakland and then head to the NPM offices. We should be there until 4 or 5 at least. Open to suggestions for a spot that can hold lots of people (cc @maxogden).

damn, I can't make it during the day, but will ping everyone later that day to see if you're still going.

rvagg commented 10 years ago

Heads-up from the NodeSource team: have had some long-planned team activities that are clashing with this meetup tomorrow, so many of us won't be able to attend. As this is a rare opportunity for us all to be physically together we've tried to squeeze maximum value out of it and the overlap wasn't intentional but the dry-run booking wasn't firm enough in any of our calendars to be an obvious conflict. Unfortunately we are going to be much closer to the NodeConf venue than to Oakland making logistics nearly impossible.

Those of us who are taking primary responsibility for workshops will be ensuring that at least one other member of that workshop team is fully up to speed on the workshopper and able to represent it in whatever capacity is required. We can also make ourselves available via Hangouts at any time during the afternoon with a small amount of warning if required. We'll also be at Walker Creek Ranch close to the early bus arrival time if anyone wants to catch up.

Sincere apologies from me and the team, be assured that we're putting in much blood, sweat and tears into making our workshoppers an unforgettable experience for NodeConf attendees! Good luck all!

mikeal commented 10 years ago

@rvagg the main purpose of the run-through was to have a few people who aren't running that workshop try it in order to test it a bit. Could you make sure that any people who won't make it post their materials here so that those attending can go through it and log bugs prior to NodeConf?

Raynos commented 10 years ago

Since this is tomorrow.

Whats the lunch venue or do we all go to npm office at noon ?

mikeal commented 10 years ago

Let's meet at NPM and then head to lunch, we don't entirely know how many people will be there and that will effect where we can go :)

dominictarr commented 10 years ago

i'll be there

heapwolf commented 10 years ago

i leave NYC at 8am, so i'll be there around noon. What is the address of the npm office?

rockbot commented 10 years ago

We're at 200 Frank Ogawa Plaza, Oakland.

If you're taking BART, you'll want either the Pittsburg/Bay Point or Richmond-direction train. Get off at 12th Street Station. Go out the exit that says "Frank Ogawa Plaza." Upon exiting the station, you'll see City Hall and a massive oak tree to your left. To the right of city hall is a brick building with a ground-floor food establishment that's called the Rotisserie Deli (I don't recommend eating there, though). That's our building; our door is just around the corner (towards City Hall). Please smile at the receptionist, as that's your first requirement to making it up to the 5th floor :-P

@olizilla, @alanshaw and I will be there too. Just waiting for them at SFO :)

lyle commented 10 years ago

Was hoping to make it to enjoy everyone's presentations, but alas final prep for SO tech-track and sick kids means I am staying closer to home. @mikeal can you see if someone could work on getting the chrome books running node? Perhaps @aulvi could help also get them ready to program the copters? After kids+copters+digital fireworks on friday I am planning to use those three machines for building and printing http://voxelbuilder.com/ so the kids can construct. (I'm picking up two printers today). And for pair-learning JS and Node (time permitting) Sorry I can't make it up to Oakland today - we will be up at Walker mid day tomorrow.

mikeal commented 10 years ago

I'll bring the chrome books with me, i'm sure someone can hack em :)

aulvi commented 10 years ago

No problem, I'm happy to work on the chromebooks Lyle!

Don't leave for lunch without me everyone!! On Jul 2, 2014 9:11 AM, "Lyle Troxell" notifications@github.com wrote:

max-mapper commented 10 years ago

Lyle - can you try getting some light cardstock or other thicker paper to experiment with for printing the voxel creations on the injets?
