Node.js Office Hours (w/ "Node Road" Speakers!)

The Seattle Node.js Meetup is kicking off our inaugural “office hours” event at the DevLocal (http://devlocal.io/) co-working space, in an informal evening of hacking on, talking about and interacting with all things Node.js related on Wednesday, March 19, 2014 from 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm.

Here's our loose agenda:

• 5:00: Start showing up. Meet, greet, chat, hack.

• 5:30-ish: We'll take a short break for a group greeting and quick intros for all the attendees to offer up what they know Node-wise, and what they're looking to learn more about.

• 5:45 - on: Go back to hacking and possibly re-organize around the folks that you can help or can help you!

Talk with the Experts!

Hosted by Formidable Labs (http://formidablelabs.com/) and Joyent (http://www.joyent.com/), we’re thrilled to have the following speakers from our full meetup event, ”Node.js on the Road w/ Joyent & Friends (https://www.meetup.com/Seattle-Node-js/events/167600252/)”, stick around another day to provide guidance on the deep, dark internals of Node.js and large scale application development:

• TJ Fontaine (https://twitter.com/tjfontaine) - Node.js Project Lead, Joyent

• Ben Acker (https://twitter.com/nvcexploder) - Senior Software Engineer, Walmart Labs

We’ll also have some of Seattle Node.js community regulars available for chatting the fine points and nuances of Node.js.

Hack, Ask, Chat!

The evening will be a very casual gathering where you can hack on a Node.js project, get help / advice, or ask any questions you have - cloud, security, DevOps, frameworks, or anything!

Anyone working with (or interested in learning about) Node.js is most welcome. We’ll have a mix of different backgrounds and experience in Node.js and look forward to everyone sharing what they know and learning at the same time.

Take a moment to leave a comment about what you are interested in talking about or hacking on when you RSVP!

Other Details

As this is a completely informal evening, please feel free to bring your own food / beverages and possibly some to share if you'd like!

There is also an Open Device Lab meetup (https://www.meetup.com/DevLocal-Open-Device-Lab/events/166331542/) in a nearby event space at DevLocal at the same time, so a great opportunity to meet and chat with folks regarding phone / tablet hacking!
