Closed dlindahl closed 9 years ago

dlindahl commented 9 years ago

Date: Saturday, July 18th Time: 9:00am - 5:00pm Location: UC Davis Extension, Room 200 Tickets: https://ti.to/sacjs/reactjs-workshop


Overview

At JSConf, I talked to Tom Occhino from Facebook about getting us in touch with someone that coulf run a React Workshop here in Sacramento. He got me in touch with Steven Luscher from the Instagram Web Team. He teaches React to new hires at Facebook. He has offered to run a modified version of a workshop that he delivered in Vancouver at the Polyglot conference. That workshop was 8-hours long, so we might alter the time commitment based on user feedback.

This workshop would be in lieu of our normal Tuesday meetup because I am not a robot and won't have time to book speakers for two events :smile:

Aaron Winters said on #sactech Slack:

Art Institute is usually very supportive of hosting outside groups Derek. Talk to Bill Mead.

This sounds amazing!

A few things:

@eporcello: added @MoonTahoe to the list of helpers

I'm still working with Steven on getting a date locked in. If he's able to come up on Friday so we can start early-ish on Saturday, I'm ok with that.

If FB has leftover swag from events, hopefully Steven can bring those with him. I'm not sure we need anything custom for this event if that's what you mean. I can speak to their event coordinator to see if he has anything to offer.

I pinged Stone Cobra to see if they'd be interested in sponsoring. They had a developer at our April meetup say that they were actively looking for React developers.

:+1: Let me know if I can do anything to assist.

dlindahl commented 9 years ago

Heard back from Steven. We're tentatively schedule for July 18th. Once we get a venue locked in, everything else should fall into place.

I've updated the content of this issue to reflect the current state.

eveporcello commented 9 years ago

Awesome! Let me know if we can help in any way.

@samt says our space at UCD Extension is almost set. We're waiting on confirmation and clarification about parking validation. If they can't cover parking, ticket prices or an extra sponsor should more than cover it.

Steven sent along this link that shows a syllabus that he's used in past events: https://github.com/steveluscher/react-polyglot-conf-2014#syllabus

@eporcello we have you penciled in as an on-site helper along with myself, @a-axton, and @samt. Aside from that, let me know if you want to say something about Reacto at the end so I can plan accordingly.

Other than promoting the event and day-of check-in, I'm not sure there is a whole lot of work for us to do. Maybe some coordination with caterers will be required as day-of, but I'm not sure we are organized enough yet to know :smile:

@samt heard back from UCD and we're good to:

UC Davis Extension Room 305 Saturday, July 18th, from 8am - 6pm (1hr for setup/teardown) Cost: $180 (they're splitting the fee with us)

I'm going to officially announce via twitter and meetup and I'll post the registration link here as well.
