🎉

Are you talking with a board member? If not, I'll find someone to work with you. The board member will send out a message to people subscribed at clojurebridge.org. Also, she/he will answer the questions you might have, give advices on budget or such.

Hi @yokolet I'm not so I'd love to get in touch with someone. I have a planning doc I can send him/her. Thanks for your help!

[yokolet]

@Wonderwoman13 got it. Right now, people are on vacation, so hopefully I can get some responses from board members after Tuesday. I'll write here once a mentor is assigned.

[brittanyjspringer]

@yokolet you are wonderful, thank you!

@Wonderwoman13 Katherine Fellows, @kpfell said yes to mentor Pittsburgh chapter. She have mentored Philadelphia chapter and others so far. You may or may not have a question, but you'd better to talk with Katherine once. You will have way better ideas on your first chapter. Katherine's email is kf at clojurebridge.org .

Also, you may ask at ClojureBridge workshops mailing list, https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/clojurebridge-workshops .

@Wonderwoman13 awesome.
By the way, can you add organizers' github and/or twitter ids? Without such social media id, organizers' names won't be on the website.
Also, would you check your email is tied to your gravatar image? The image will show up on top page on clojurebridge.org.

[yokolet]

@Wonderwoman13 I have one more request. Would you drag&drop sponsor companies logo here? I'll add those to the website also.

[brittanyjspringer]

@yokolet Github and Twitter handles added above! My Gravatar is associated with my email address. I've also attached all of the sponsor logos. Thank you!

Hi, @yokolet! Could you add PurelyFunctional.tv to the list of sponsors for this event, as well?

Here's a logo, if you don't happen to have one handy, already. 💖

[yokolet]

Done. Thanks for the update.

@Wonderwoman13 I just finished updating curriculum to use Nightcode 2.1.0. I tested on OSX and Ubuntu. Hopefully, it will work on Windows 8 and 7.
There are some new things about Java. If you have students of Ubuntu or other Linux, they need to install Oracle JDK 8. I couldn't start Nightcode 2.1.0 on OpenJDK. If you have students of El Capitan (OSX 10.11), they certainly need to install Java. Java is no more bundled in OSX. Unfortunately, I don't have Windows to test, so I'm hoping no problem there.
Please go over all materials with other teachers before the workshop. If you find errors/problems, file the issue at curriculum repo, https://github.com/ClojureBridge/curriculum/issues
