Stepping up require('lx')

[daviddias]

We've discussion here and there (meetups, casual lunches, nothing too formal) about what can we do to make require('lx') even more awesome!

Our goals continue to be the same, create a safe space where the JS community in Lisbon can feel welcomed, share ideas, projects, create new endeavours and get psyched about the latest with JavaScript. We also have as a goal, empowering everyone that is present in the community, we know that there is an incredible amount of awesome stuff happening, we just need to give the microphone to the devs in Lisbon :) (and that is why we've been investing in equipment to record talks and so on)

Now, what's next? Well we want:

• To reach even to more people
• Be faster from 'talk proposal' to 'talk delivered'
• Welcome more people to organize a meetup
• Make sure that new comers understand that there isn't no previous knowledge required to enter, a simple desire to learn and contribute and a good pint of humility and curiosity is all that is needed.

How to do it? Would love to have your opinion, so far people have proposed:

• Lunch NodeSchools
• Syndicate events on Facebook, so we can reach the devs not present on twitter or meetup.com
• Reconsider the use of gitter, maybe there is a place people would be more present and available to chat more?
• Have a website (like requirelx.io) for new comers to know what the heck is going on :P (https://github.com/require-lx/community/issues/92)
• Make sure every bit of communication passes through this repo, so folks get notifications

What do you think? Looking forward to everyone's suggestions and ideas :)

Ok, let's try ahead this thing. Always open a meetup as a github issue and then syndicate announcements elsewhere :)
