Want to run an event?

[mikeal]

Can we use this thread to collect "what you need to know to run a NodeSchool" so that we can link to this on the main website and encourage more people to run local events.

Listening to this podcast is probably a good idea :)

Also read these summary posts from previous events:

nodeschool/nodeschool.github.io#15

There is now a link at the bottom of http://nodeschool.io pointing to this issue thread. Additionally, if you have a venue booked to run a nodeschool event, state the date and location in this thread to get your event listed on the website and also link to a tweet so you can be retweeted by the nodeschool twitter account.

Also, we need stickers that can be given out at any of the events, @maxogden & @jlord you guys seem to be king & queen of nerd stickers, can you make this happen?

Perhaps anyone running an event can request to have a batch sent to them, or get the design to be printed locally or whatever. I imagine something about completing NodeSchool: "I attended NodeSchool and survived" or whatever.

Hey folks, I'm in Halifax, NS and have been pulling together a local JS meetup, I'm considering about making this a regular part of the meetup, perhaps an hour of node school followed by an hour of lightning talks, has anyone got experience with this mix?

[mikeal]

@mattcreager that sounds like what BrooklynJS is planning to soon (layering in NodeSchool before the talks of their regular event). /cc @brianloveswords

[mattcreager]

Thanks @mikeal! @brianloveswords will you let me know how it goes?

FYI - I'm thinking about doing one in Phoenix soon.

Anyone up for an event in the Redmond/Seattle/Eastside area?

[JaimeLynSchatz]

I know something folks who want to run an event need to do: 1. Read the thread topic ( ;) mea culpa) and 2. Know where to post things like my misplaced comment above.

I plan to help run one in Norwich, UK on 10th March.

If there are some stickers or resources available, that would be great.

Im up for doing another event in London at Shoreditch Village Hall.
@maxogden any chance you can get in touch on twitter(@iancrowther) with some of the costs/gotchas/who to call?

[sclarson]

FYI, we're going to be doing these as a workshop series for the dev meetup in Sioux Falls, SD. We have a mix of designers and developers that are registered.

@iancrowther I believe @andrew expressed interest recently in helping run a https://github.com/jlord/git-it workshop (a workshopper by @jlord) in london

I tried to write up the gotchas here: nodeschool/nodeschool.github.io#15

[hackygolucky]

Thanks @maxogden!! We've got our first workshop set for the end of February in PDX and you guys documenting all of the adventures will certainly help us avoid the pitfalls.
