International Day?

[bevacqua]

NodeBots and NodeSchool have one, why not make an international Beer.js day?

• Set a date October 1, 2015
• How will it be different from regular Beer.js meetups?
• Guidelines?

Cool to see so much momentum behind this! Anyone have suggestions for the date? Any other big events we should make sure not to overlap with?

[bevacqua]

Day

The io.js logo postulates we choose a date based on the 0100101001010011 binary stream.

We're JavaScripters, so we'll use parseInt to sort this one out.

parseInt('0100101001010011', 2)

The above yields 19027. A year has 365 days and 52 weeks, thus.

19027 / 365 / 52

Resulting in 1.0024762908324552. As JavaScripters, we don't really understand floating point, and Beer.js is a physical meetup group, thus we'll be using .floor as seen below.

Math.floor(1.0024762908324552);

So it shall be the first day of a month.

Month

To pick the month we'll go back to 19027. We must reduce these numbers in a functional fashion in order to make the best of it, and we all know offsetting i by one is a best practice when dividing. Bars usually have a ceiling in addition to flooring, and thus the formula to pick the month becomes:

19027..toString().split('').reduce(function reductor (avg, number, i) {
  return Math.ceil(avg + parseInt(number) / (i + 1));
}, 0);

This results in a 9.

Conclusion

The date should be September 1st.

@bevacqua I think we need to double-check that logic. If we take your results and ask javascript:

new Date(2015, 9, 1)

We get October 1.

[Siedrix]

I prefer October 1, it's better to have a beerjs on a thursday than a tuesday.

[bevacqua]

The Date object has spoken

[thebergamo]

In Brazil we have the October Fest, basically is a Great Beer Fest!

This date make a lot of sense here =D
