Events

[mikeal]

Being that JSFest is a Festival we'll need to add a bunch of events.

The current list of obvious events is:

• ONE-SHOT by NodeConf
• DHTMLConf

New events:

• Nothing is Sacred
• NodeBaseConf, or some other name, hopefully with the word "bespoke" in it :P

Last time I did JSFest in San Francisco I sold tickets per event, that didn't actually work out so well. It didn't actually help with capacity planning as retention was never 100%. Instead, I'm going to do it more like what SXSW does, which is to sell tickets and just increase capacity with parallel events in order to handle more people. Will this result in some events being overbooked: yes, almost surely. But, this is much better than what happened in SF where people didn't go to events they were excited about because they were "sold out" but then only actually had 30% of their capacity filled.

Being that we have dates now, the week of December 7th - 13th, what events do we have curators committed to?

@brycebaril can you be in Oakland and do Nothing is Sacred in time?
@jennschiffer can you be in Oakland and do DHTMLConf?

[brycebaril]

@mikeal yes definitely

[jennschiffer]

@mikeal I just set that whole week aside with Bocoup, shouldn't be a problem. I'll know by the end of the week if it is though.

I wanna do something about science

[mikeal]

@maxogden do you want to do a day long science hackathon, or an event, or just a talk :)

[jennschiffer]

I'm good for that week!

[max-mapper]

@mikeal a day long thing, not sure the format yet

[mikeal]

@maxogden cool, get me a name for the event and some logo art ASAP, we can make up the rest as we go along :)

I need to confirm with @nvcexploder that we can pull it off in time (right after Black Friday) but we are looking to do a hapi conf (hapiDays). Original idea was one day of workshops (both beginners and super advance tracks) and one day talks from adopters about how they are using it. Not sure 2 days is needed or that we will have time to produce this much content, but at least one full day.

[mikeal]

@hueniverse could do 1 day split in half w/ workshops and talks :)

@rvagg how about the "Bespoke Databases Symposium" :)

[nvcexploder]

I think we can easily get a worthwhile half-day's worth of training ready.

You could spend a half day just doing the hapi workshopper :)

I just need art for the event and it'll go up on the site.
