JS Group planning questions for 2012

[Garren Smith]

Hi All,

I think it's that time of the year again where we get Js Joburg going again. If you are interested in seeing the meetup continue, please take the time to answer the questions below, as I will judge the viability of continuing the meetup based on the answers and number of responses received. 

Are you still happy having it every 2nd Tuesday?

Are you happy using Microsoft as a venue, if not can you recommend another venue?

List 3 or more topics you would be interested in learning about.

Give 1 or more topics you would be interested in giving a 5 - 15 minute talk on. (Small group, the best place to get some speaking experience)

Anything else you would like to add?

Cheers

Garren

Yes

Microsoft's venue is fine, but won't mind other venues

Scaling Javascript applications
Javascript application architecture
Writing Javascript libraries or frameworks

What would it take to start a community project? It would be cool to
focus on a library or framework type of project. Or is it not worth
the effort?

1. 2nd Tuesday is good for me

2. Microsoft as a venue is good for me.

3. SignalR, WinRT + JavaScript, Currying, Best Practises in JS, Showcase your work

4. WinRT + JavaScript, Showcase your work

1. 2nd Tuesday works well
2. Microsoft as a venue is practical
3. As with this year's JSinSA lineup, I'd like to see more coverage of
web technologies as a whole, rather than just javascript. This
includes mobile apps, HTML5, nodeJS, etc.
4. HTML5, Showcase your work
