Hello, do you have some muzak playlists, which can stimulus nodeschool progress? :) I know @olizilla have some! In Lisbon it was perfect. Any ideas? Best, I need it now, actually having 40+ folks on Nodeschool. Thanks a lot!

Aww thanks! It was probably this one: https://open.spotify.com/user/olizilla/playlist/6HAFdOLHKrpm4mgA8MMw0B ...works for parties, nodeschools, and weddings alike. Just add disco lights.

I'd recommend having some music in the background. If it's a large group of people that haven't met before, it's a simple way to diffuse any initial awkwardness, and reminds everyone that a nodeschool is a friendly, and ideally, fun place to be, especially the organisers!

If you get even one person excited enough to keep trying out workshops after the event it's well worth it. Even If not, it all helps people figure out if node is for them. Have fun hosting it! It'll be great.

Perfect, just listened it! :)

Aye, some girls stayed till now! :D

Yeah, working on it to keep mood up! Folks looking for third nodeschool in Bratislava, we will see, with your playlist included. Muzak playlists / Elevators music worked fine! :)

We also use this one for hackathons and some other events, we keep it running in the background :)
