Back in december the identity team promised 12 posts on Node.JS - and today the last post in the series will go live. We did it!
The posts we published got a pretty great response, and success stories include the 3rd most popular post on Mozilla Hacks in Q1, with 25k unique visitors. There are clear increases of contributors and followers for the projects these posts mention, we've been asked to speak in some interesting places because of them, many people got excited and even applied to work at mozilla because of these posts, and I think our community is stronger for it.
I wanted to thank everyone on the team for taking this so seriously, and investing all the time you spent in improving our tooling, and sharing it with the world. Beyond from visibility, the most rewarding thing for me is we shared knowledge and code that make people happy and help them build things.
Now: we have amassed some impressive and influential Node.JS talent here at Mozilla, and I'd love to see us nurture this and continue to contribute to the wider node.js community in increasingly meaningful ways. For Identity projects, I think we've found that we actually accelerate our progress on the actual products we're building while contributing to the community.
So. What's next? Another series? Something bigger?

Hi,
First let me express my immense thanks for all the great and hard work you've done, and for putting up with an editorial process - not always great fun. :-) I'm so happy to see the attention you've gotten, and I think you've managed to both improve your products while doing good with sahring your knowledge with the bigger world!
Second, moving forward: I can only talk from my angle, but you are more than welcome to do any write-ups on interesting things you are doing with Node.js, to be published on Hacks.
I was also thinking about MDN: perhaps starting a dedicated section there to Node.js - what do you think?
CC:ing Ali as well, to get her input on that.
Best regards,
Robert

Just hit up Matt (head of Node.js SF) about giving a talk about some
work I've been doing, and its performance implications. He replied back:
"That's fantastic, I'd love to run a meetup around that. Would
Mozilla be interested in hosting (and help sponsoring with food,
drinks)?
"Beginning of June is when my schedule starts to clear up, so
perhaps June 13?"
This might go under the "something bigger" list. Any thoughts?
