RESTFest Edinburgh is only two weeks away! Here's the latest update.
ATTENDANCE TRACKING
We've got 20 ppl registered as of June 30. That's not too bad. Our goal for this first UK event was 25 and we're almost there. Feel free to share the registration link w/ friends and colleagues. RESTFest is a great place to meet new ppl and we're always looking for new POVs and skills to share.
UPDATE YOUR PEOPLE PAGE
Be sure to add your People Page to the wiki. While we have 20 ppl registered, we have less than 10 People Pages so far -- only 1/3 of those signed up. This is a chance to post your proposed talks, tell us a bit about yourself, and get to know others who will be attending.
Remember, at RESTFest *everyone talks and everyone listens*! That means we need to get to know you and your People Page is the best way to introduce yourself.
TWEETS START THIS WEEK
We'll start sending out tweets this week thanking sponsors and recognizing participants and their talks. We'd love to include YOU in this tweet-stream! To make sure you get some twitter-juice from the @RESTFest account, be sure to update your profile page w/ at least one proposed talk topic.
Of course, we'd love it if you'd RT the tweets from the @RESTFest account. Also feel free to post your own SocNet announcements using #RESTFest and/or @RESTFest.
HACKDAY UPDATE
The hackday this year is a wide open session. Feel free to come ready to work on any project you have in mind. Add your project to the HackDay Landing Page and let's see what happens.
BTW - In some past RESTFest events, HackDay has been an all out, giant project where everyone can join in. If you have an idea for a big project and are willing to help lead the group, add that to the Hack Day Landing Page and let's see what happens!
STACKDAY TUTORIAL OPPORTUNITIES
Friday StackDay -- a chance for you to show off your favorite library, tools, etc. We've got two sessions confirmed for StackDay so far and usually like to see at least five or more. If you're enjoying a library, tool, language, etc. feel free to add it to this page.
BOARDGAMES NIGHT
Traditionally, Friday night is BoardGames Night at RESTFest. Bring your card games, tabletop games, anything you like and have some fun. If you plan to bring some games, add them to the Board Games page in the wiki.
EXTENDED TALKS
Every year we like to give attendees the chance to deliver an extended talk (30 mins or so) instead of just the usual 5in5. If you'd like to deliver an Extended talk, be sure to indicate that on your profile page and we'll work as many into the schedule as we can.
KEEP AN EYE ON YOUR INBOX
We'll continue to send updates right up until the day of the event. Keep in touch, feel free to post to the list w/ questions/suggestions and see you in two weeks.
Looking forward to seeing you in Edinburgh at RESTFest UK
The RESTFest Team:
- Ben Longden,
