To the DM Technology group:
Dice Holdings is pleased to be sponsoring (and hosting) the September meeting of the Des Moines JavaScript Users group on Tuesday, Sept. 10th 2013. We'd like to invite (and encourage!) any Dice employees to attend and participate. The meeting will be held in the front conference rooms and will be open to the Des Moines technical community to attend.
A little background about the group: The Des Moines JavaScript Users group has been a "group within other groups", providing content to meetings of other technology user groups around the area, like the Des Moines WebGeeks, the Central Iowa Java Users Group (CIJUG), the Iowa Ruby Brigade, Pyowa and likely many others. This meeting at Dice will be the first 'standalone' meeting they've held as a group – partially due to scheduling conflicts with CIJUG meetings at the Meredith offices downtown. We'll be inviting other user groups to attend as well.
The focus of Des Moines JS is "front end" development and JavaScript technologies that make the web a richer and more interesting experience. The organizer (Toran Billups) also has some outstanding contributions to the EmberJS community and has been speaking at a number of groups about Ember and JavaScript in general. You can find out more about the group at their homepage (http://dsmjs.com) or through their Twitter account (@desmoinesjs)
About The Meeting:
One of the reasons we offered to have Dice host is because I'm one of the speakers for September! Toran contacted me last spring and scheduled me to speak on the GitHub ecosphere and how to get started both contributing and creating your own open source projects. I'll be talking about experiences in contributing to large projects (in my short stint as an O'Reilly author), contributing to smaller projects and maintaining a small open source project with contributors (http://vagrantpress.org). Here's my 'official' abstract to the group:

## Abstract
If you've been attending user group meetings, or just had someone forward you a GitHub URL - you've seen some of the things that developers have been doing in the Open Source community. In this session, I'll talk about open source development, the GitHub ecosphere and how you can get involved. Along the way, we'll share some success stories (and not so successful stories) about getting involved in the community, how you can make positive contributions and what to expect when you start your own open source project.
Following that, Toran will present a talk on how to incorporate JavaScript promises for better web application performance. (See a quick description here: http://martinfowler.com/bliki/JavascriptPromise.html )
The "official" biographies and abstracts will be up soon on http://dsmjs.com
Feel free to ask myself or Tom Bonney about the group, and we look forward to seeing you there!
