In order for me to have a good idea of who will be attending the event
please #rsvp to @nodekc before each meeting. If you're not a twitter
user just shoot an e-mail to me (joe [hat] nodekc.org). Our meetings
will be held at snow and company (Just off I35 in downtown KC) monthly
or every other week, depending on interest. If you have a laptop
please bring it (wireless internet will be provided).

The NodeKC user group will focus on building open source node
projects. We'll work collaboratively on projects that the group
determines to be interesting and challenging. Our first project,
however, has been pre-determined for the sake of a quick start. This
project idea will be announced and developed further at the first
meetup.

We'll break into two groups and work toward a similar goal on the
project after the first meeting. These groups will have a set of user
stories to accomplish before the next meetup. At the following meeting
we'll review each of the groups code and determine which codebase to
merge into the main github branch. We can also selectively choose
parts of each of the groups work. Making these decisions as a team
will be a good opportunity to both review each other's code.

The benefit of having two groups work on the same problem is to have
varying approaches to developing with node. We hope this format
fosters constructive discussion and discovery. However, as with any
software development process, it is subject to change based on the
group dynamic.

We'll maintain progress of our user stories on a Trello board in
kanban style. All contributions to the software will be made on
github, and we will deploy to Heroku. Accounts at each of these
organizations is necessary for participation.

Food will not be provided and you are encouraged to either eat before
you come or purchase food from Snow and Company. In the unlikely event
that we provide food, @nodekc will announce this.

For further announcements regarding the first meetup please refer to
this thread.
