I wanted to consolidate Github/Twitter contact info for everyone who attended KnodeCamp. Feel free to post your details so we can keep in touch.

I think having a list of volunteers would be super helpful for conference organizers.

As a contributor, I want to be able to clone this repo, run npm install and npm start to run a server for local development, so that I can easily contribute to the project in an appropriate way.

As a frequent github user, I expect to see documentation on how to develop the project locally in README.md.

I would like to contribute but I'm unsure about how the current github pages are being compiled. If I recall right GHP only works with static html and jekyll currently. So how is it possible that if the output folder is compiled via js but is being ignored in git that it works with GHP?

We want members of the community to be encouraged to help add to knode. In order to do this, we need to lay a clear path as to how to contribute and what we need help with:

1. contribute.md
2. roadmap/list of issues that willing participants will take on. Bonus points if we can label by level of difficulty so newer programmers can help too.

Anyone interested in vetting/choosing their analytics choice(preferably free) and adding it to our site to see if anyone is actually USING what we're toiling over?

As a speaker, I would love to share what I have spoken about previously and offer information on when/where I'm available to give this talk again.

As an organizer, I would love to have a pool of potential speakers to contact regarding speaking at my event.

Hoping this will be a page on the site.

As part of JSFest, we've been asked to present KnodeCamp.

Our initial idea after some discussion:
"A Kuh-node.io Rodeo": KNODE.IO, 'a resource for all things Node.js', is hosting a mini-summit for those interested in growing their node citizenry -- from running a Nodebots day to starting a user group, all the way up to running a conference -- come share war stories, listen, and help contribute to the future of the Node.js community."

Considering format: lightning talk on a small event like a nodebots instance, short talk on a meetup(how are we running them?), long talk on organizing a conference, drinks after for the war stories...and also talking the project origin/roadmap itself? It was requested to make this a bit unconf-y and see how people end up inspired. Do we try to work on the project while we're there?

SCHEDULE: Thursday, March 6th. 10am start, 2 hour break for lunch at noon, done before 6.
LOCATION: Joyent(should also get in touch with Emily at Joyent about this)
CAPACITY: 30 tickets. We should reach out to those we think this is relevant to so we ensure they are definitely there.

Let's discuss planning details, implementation, fantastical notions, invites below!

After discussing various ways users can go about submitting information to knode.io, our conversation diverged a bit specifically with the Call for Proposals section #11 (comment)

This brought up such a good point! While working on diversity of attendees, what ends up being an ideal way to run the CFP? How can we as a group help facilitate that or test it out?

Someone write an article on different CFP methods and talk about what we're trying(the Google Forms/sheetsee.js workflow)

I like the idea of having a separate repo of the user groups for simple submission. Would it be too much of a pain to figure out a workflow so that we can quickly update it on the site for display?

Thinking of having a featured meetup, timed for rotating out every 24 hours. On the events page:

....way more of these ascii boxes that I'm horrible at making...

After a discussion began on Twitter regarding the maintenance of node-meatspace, I offered to help maintain the list as I was already keeping this information myself. I had also intended to pull this information in the future anyway as a way to keep the community updated without having to migrate to another site.

As the collaborators are in different cities, we really like each other, and it would be helpful to share in-person conversations we've had and not documented yet(we're human, after all), I think it would be helpful to have a monthly G+ hangout to talk shop.

The biggest barrier to this is the number of people involved: talky.io and G+ hangouts both seem to fall over at ~5 connections. Do we have any other recommended options?

We'd like to test out using Google Forms to allow for easier submissions of CFPs, speakers, and events.

Would love to see this succeed so we can use it for other repos such as node-meatspaces, which in future form would potentially look like knode/events on knode.io

A calendar would be great, containing speaker candidates (submitted by themselves) and when they travel to foreign countries. This way meetups could easily host the speakers.

Is knode still going?
