JavaScript / Scala Hackathon in January

The first Scala for Startups Hackathon will be a joint event with SFJS (https://www.meetup.com/jsmeetup/), lead by Dave Nugent. We'll have teams of front-end guys and back-end guys putting together RESTful APIs with Scala web frameworks and Node/JS awesomeness. This will take some thought to put together -- each team should be productive, so we have to match JS folks with Scala folks. Please propose yourself for the teams and briefly describe what you want to do! SFJS team will do the same and we'll get a suitable venue from our many partners.

JavaScript folks, please sign up at: https://www.meetup.com/jsmeetup/events/95515362/

Doors Open: 6:00pm

Event Starts: 6:30

Event Ends: Midnight!

Note there will be no passive sitting and listening during this event. Every participant will code, and every Scala guy or girl will be in a team with at least one CoffeeScript/JavaScript programmer! If you are two or more Scala folks who need pairing with JS counterparts, please indicate that you comprise a team either via +N guests in RSVP or via comments below.

The location is KIXEYE, our awesome meetup partner. They have an NDA policy for visitors which we kindly ask you to sign in the lobby. The participant list is closing at noon on the day of the meetup. There will be a cap which will be lifted a bit closer to the event, but the space is limited. Please make sure you want to code with a fellow JavaScript team member and present the results if you make it that far!

There will be food and drink to sustain the brave hackathoners. There are desks for laptops, we'll be checking on the powerstrips, but you may want to bring both a power supply and an extension cord if you want to be sure you'll receive electricity.

We'll update the meetup description on the specific mating rituals we'll use -- feel free to propose any!
