CampJS IV

[garrows]

Hey Team, (particularly @ajfisher @AnnaGerber @DamonOehlman)

Has @timoxley talked to any of you about doing another nodebots workshop at campjs yet? I'm pretty sure he is interested. Are you guys?

Maybe we only do 1 workshop this year (or at least not compete with @DamonOehlman's awesome webRTC talk).

Who want's to take the lead on organising it? looks at @ajfisher :P

I'm also running a tessel workshop at campjs and would appreciate any help you guys can give. It's going to be far less complex than a normal nodebots workshop as the modules are very simple and I can just point people at http://start.tessel.io (I better get a local mirror of that). I was thinking that I could separate the beginners and handhold them through it. The more confident people can work together and hopefully have a bit of help from you guys. I have 3 hackathon packs https://www.trycelery.com/shop/hackathon-pack. Should be fun.

Hi peeps.

Unfortunately I'll be in the Snowy Mtns that weekend as in Vic it's Melbourne Cup weekend so it's a super long weekend for us.

Absolutely more than happy to help prep things though and can send our stock of gear to support too.

I'll bring the NodeBots BNE gear but I'm already doing a session on Docker and I'm keen to have some time to work on my own projects, so not putting my hand up to run a NodeBots workshop this time. I think we should make the gear available for people to use throughout the camp - they can come see one of us to check out an ARDX or SimpleBot kit. Unless @MauriceButler @kevdesign or @nog3 are up for organising a NodeBots session?

[MauriceButler]

Im actually doing a performance tools session... Happy to help out when I can, especially if the kits are available during the camp I can help out anyone during the day etc.

[ajfisher]

The other thing to consider is maybe running a nodeschool version for the workshops? There's a nodeschool johnny-five set up I saw being kicked about the other day....

I really like @AnnaGerber's idea of bringing the kit and letting them have at it.

[DamonOehlman]

+1 for generally facilitating learning, but not running specific workshop sessions (you all deserve a bit of a break IMO).

[ajfisher]

Yeah considering you're all running other workshops!! Having a "checkout" system could work well.

Also FYI - I've been working with tronixlabs who have suggested a kit that might be a better replacement for the custom ARDX kits we created - they are a little more expensive but have a few more components in them than what are in the default ARDX kits and are a bit more "well packaged".

I'll get a sample and send it around for you all to have a look at.
