Inspired by Ruby Brigade, we started JavaScript Workshop as the only workshop-format meetup for JavaScript in town.
We are pleased to see the energy around JavaScript has been picking up, and a lot of adjacent meetups being formed, such as Node.js, Game Dev, Phonegap, Mobile, Web App Dev.
With more options for developers, it frees us from being a catch-all general meetup and enables us to re-imagine our meeting format and try some new things.
First change will be the meetup schedule. We will meet less frequently: once a month on the 2nd Wednesday every month.
It will give us a bit more time organizing. For the March and later meetings, we will pre-announce a JavaScript technology or a topic. And, we will go thru the setup and code a simple application together.
If you like to discuss about the new format and/or suggest topics, please join us tomorrow (Feb 8th, 2012). If you cannot come, you can email me and Jason (cc'd).
Thanks for reading!
