Node.js in Production & Lightning Talks

The Seattle Node.js Meetup group is kicking things into gear with our next event, scheduled for Wednesday, May 8 and hosted downtown at the SURF Incubator (http://www.surfincubator.com/location/). We’ll have pizza, beers, talks, and lightning talks to get you socializing, listening, and talking about all things Node.js.

We’re also launching a new group website at http://seanode.github.io/ , hosted at our GitHub repository (https://github.com/seanode/seanode.github.io), for additional articles, posts, and information from the local Node.js community. And, we’ve started a new Twitter account, @seattlenode (https://twitter.com/seattlenode), which we hope you’ll follow.
