Hi all! -

I had a great time with those of you who came out to JS 101, looking forward to the advanced JS workshops coming up!

To make sure we can keep putting on great events for our community, we’re expanding our leadership team. We are still taking applications for Hackathon Director and 2 new roles, Events Director and Marketing/Partnerships Director. We are also looking for more On-site Coordinators to make sure workshops run smoothly (great role for students or TAs planning to attend the workshops anyway). You can read about all the roles here and apply here.

Sal Khan (my boss!) will be talking with BlackGirlsCode founder Kimberly Bryant on April 8th at the Commonwealth Club. Use GirlDevelopItKhanBryant for a $5 discount.

AppSchool is holding a 4-hour iOS programming workshop Sunday, March 15th. (It’s $125, which is inexpensive compared to many iOS workshops). Register here.

Want to use your coding skills to “address the growing dysfunction in Congress”? Check out Hack4Congress, coming up March 21st-22nd. If you are going, let me know, and I can create a Meetup on our group for you to see who else is going from GDI.

DevBootCamp is looking to hire more teachers that align with their diversity and empathy engineering session. Check out the position description here.

Interested in speaking?  The CascadiaJS CFP is open through March 15. The Forward 3 CFP is open through March 31. The SFJS meetup group is also looking for presenters.
