Worldwide Meteor Day - Sydney

Worldwide Meteor Day - Sydney

Come join Meteor Sydney for Worldwide Meteor Day (http://meteorday.com)!

The whole Meteor community is holding simultaneous meetups around the world on Nov 6, open to anyone who is interested in learning more about the Meteor platform.

You’ll get to meet developers who have built things with Meteor here in Sydney, play with the new Meteor examples and tutorial, and have Q&A via Hangout with a core developer or expert from the community. We’ll have free Meteor t-shirts and stickers in the new design as well. Be sure to bring your laptops for the deploy fest and open coworking.

If you’ve built a Meteor app before, we would love to see it during the show & tell part of the meetup. This could be any project large or small, whether that’s a complex production app or just something you threw together in a weekend.

Goodies

We have just received a bunch of new logo stickers and t-shirts so they will be available for all attendees on the night in a first come first serve basis.

(There is a limited quantity of each size available so limit of one shirt per person to be fair, first come first serve)
