Hi All,

Due to the public holiday, the next javascript meetup will be on the 15 August. Thats a week later than usual. We also need a powerpoint slide to be used on the main tv at the community night. So I'm looking for someone to volunteer an hour of their time to design us a cool powerpoint slide to display what we are about.

We are also need speakers for the next meetup. I would be keen to do  talk on a Couchdb ORM I've been writing for nodejs. I will do a 5 min intro to Couchdb for anyone not familiar with it. Anyone else keen to talk?

Cheers
Garren

Hi All,

Just wondering is there any interest for the meetings to keep going or should we cancel them for now and look to start meeting up later in the year. Doesn't seem like a lot of interest or maybe I'm getting the wrong impression?

Cheers
Garren

I am still interested, even have a topic I would like to talk though (couldn't last month and I doubt I can this month due to time constraints).

Ok cool, just gone very quiet had to do something to get everyone talking :-)

I will let Dave at Microsoft know that we will be there on the 15 August. I'll do my talk on the couchdb orm. It would be cool if we could have one more speaker.

Coffeescript is all the rage at the moment. Anyone interested in giving a 10 minute talk about coffeescript at the meetup?

Hi,

I did a brief talk on Coffeescript at our GTUG meetup a few month ago.
I'm neither a JS nor Coffescript expert but for a 10min intro it
should be enough. Please have a look at the slidedeck here and let me
know if that's what you had in mind.

Happy to have joined this group and look forward to hopefully finally
learning JS properly.

Best regards,
HC

Slide deck looks cool. If you could present on coffeescript I think that would be awesome

I have been building a scripting language for a very narrow domain using CoffeeScript.  Would have been happy to share but I won't be in Jhb for the meet-up :-(

Oh well, next time.

Hi, I just noticed I missed the meeting. I am really sorry, I thought
it was tomorrow.

I'd be very interested in hearing more about this. Hopefully a trip up to JHB will coincide next time around.
