Meteor.js & Bourbon.io

Our next event is shaping up nicely, with back-to-back talks from two impressive speakers:

First up, Christian Reuter (https://github.com/creuter) will discuss bourbon.io (http://bourbon.io/), a simple and lightweight mixin library for Sass by @ThoughtBot (https://twitter.com/thoughtbot). Next, learn the strengths and weaknesses of Meteor.js (https://www.meteor.com/) from Josh Owens (http://joshowens.me/), who has been using it full time since April 2013. This talk will go over things like the core principles, packaging system, hosting, the great community, testing, and much more. Get the inside scoop on why you should give Meteor.js a look.

Event Schedule: As usual, we'll kick it off with some snacks and beverages at 5:30pm and then start the talk promptly at 6pm. Each talk will run approximately 30 to 45 minutes. There will be some time after the talk (around 7:30pm) to hang out and talk with Josh and Christian.
