Notable Events in the Community

  • Node Governance - William Bert created http://nodegovernance.io/ to alert Scott Hammond, CEO of Joyent, of the desire of the community for the io.js open-governance model to be the base upon which the Node Foundation's Technical Committee. The response from the community was fantastic!

Don't know if those two are relevant enough to be added. Are we only doing big names, or anybody who adds support? I'm a fan of the latter--it will recognize people taking the step to use io.js, and will share them with the community.

Okay, no problem! I was just vamping in the roadmap part.

Something I noticed during retreving the YouTube links is that there's not a consistent naming strategy for the meetings. Would it be possible to get all the facilitators of the meetings to follow a consistent naming convention? I know you probably know 10x as much about SEO as I do, but I think it's worth being consistent for the sake of people looking for the meetings as a whole and specific meetings individually. For example:

io.js <name> WG Meeting - <Month> <day>th 2015

would be the convention, and

io.js Build WG Meeting - February 20th 2015

would be an example of it implemented. Here's templates for all the titles in that style, which I can edit if you'd like:

Technical Committee:

  • io.js TC Meeting - February 20th 2015

Tracing WG:

  • io.js Tracing WG Meeting - February 20th 2015

Build WG:

  • io.js Build WG Meeting - February 20th 2015

Website WG:

  • io.js Website WG Meeting - February 20th 2015

It’s actually quite hard to figure out the hangouts stuff so I doubt we’ll get anything like consistent naming to work across facilitators :)

But, we can change the titles on youtube quite easily after the fact. I can add you to the G+ page so that you can edit the titles on youtube if you tell me your G+ email addy.

There's nothing on YouTube, Google+, or Gmail (confirmation email, maybe) that indicate I've been added. Did the system screw up somewhere, or am I not seeing it? I click the icon of my avatar on YouTube, and there's only two pages I created years ago. If it's too much trouble, don't worry about it.

Updated all the YouTube titles to follow a consistent pattern and added a few tags to each video. Tags are a huge way to get visibility, so it's 100% worth tagging every video. I'll be happy to do this, and if you think of more, I'll add them.
