Hey everyone. We came up with a proposal for NodeDay and a list of potential speakers. Let me know what you guys think.
Format
The day would be arranged with 6-8 45min talks, finishing out with an hour long panel discussion. The talks would be technical in nature and would comprise a good mix of the themes below (core, enterprise, portability). The panel at the end would be an open discussion of the future of node, the proposal of the consortium and a QA session with people in attendance. Of course if this something we wish to do, we would need to start the discussion ahead of the conference just to make sure we are all on the same page. The idea would be that if we (the big corporations) were going to start taking an active role in Node, we want to do it transparently and in the open source, communal way.
We were also thinking of adding a weekend hack-a-thon. At the end of the day we would pose a challenge. Those who would participate would submit their entries by EOD Sunday and would come back in Monday for judging and awards.
Based on Jeff's feedback, there would be a nominal registration fee ($10 or so) to minimize people registering and not showing up.
