Pull meetup details from Github or Meetup.com

Looking for ways to update website without manually needing to change index.html

Add a callout to a sponsorship form on our homepage

This form should allow sponsors to quickly request that someone from the meetup contact them to setup sponsorship. A mailto:[email protected] would be enough, otherwise we can setup a Google Form.

Member survey

So that we can understand who are members are, and how we can best serve the local community, we need to send out a short member survey that we can share at the March 3rd meetup.

Bring in a member of the Ember.js team

Connect and inspire by increasing the number of visitors to a community showcase on the website

Decide on objectives for 2016-17

Now that the exec has been selected, I propose we start the next year by reviewing the feedback from our member survey and selecting objectives to focus on over the next year.

Our final deliverable would be:

A statement of our overall mission
A list of objectives we're going to do this year

To accomplish this, we need to:

To Do

/cc @ExchangeJS/organizers

Create a package for presenters

This is intended to improve the quality of our talks. It could include things like tips and a checklist for our presenters, as well as some resources like presentation templates and logos for the meetup.

This issue is created as part of #51.

Fix our favicon

Our current favicon is illegible. We may need to make a new file from scratch, but luckily it's just "ejs" in black on a yellow background so that shouldn't be hard.

Bring in a speaker from the React team

Identify the best candidates from the react team to join us for a talk, then go after them until we get someone.

Record talks

Starting September 2016 we'd like to record our meetups for broadcast to our members live and offline later.

Add all new organizers to the Google Drive share

We've got a shared folder on Google Drive that we use to organize notes and share files. I know some of you have access but others don't.

https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B1angknldByTbjJIS3c4RDZfT2c

If you can send me your Google address via email, twitter, gitter, etc. I'll make sure that you get access.

/cc @ExchangeJS/organizers

Email friend for info about how to broadcast talks

We'd like to start recording our talks and Sean's friend has some experience doing that.

Callout for speakers at Startup Edmonton

Give stickers away to attendees and contributors

Recruit sponsors

Over the next few months we need to recruit sponsors if we're hoping to make our budget for the year. Time to get started!

Create sponsorship package #20
Make a list of potential sponsors
Contact sponsors
Collect commitments from sponsors

Better educate by increasing the quality and audience of our talks

The possible ways we've come up with to achieve this objective include:

June 2016 Meetup

Use Gitter as a realtime back channel

Hey all,

I've been using Gitter as a realtime chat room on a few other open source projects I use and am involved with. It's great because it understands things like GitHub issues and profiles, and uses GitHub for authentication and authorization.

I've setup a Gitter room to try at:

https://gitter.im/ExchangeJS?utm_source=share-link&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=share-link

I'd be curious to get your thoughts and feedback.

Setup global repo for all monthly meetups

We decided to setup a single repository we can use for all monthly meetups. This repository will include:

Slides for all meetup notes
An issue for each meetup

The pro's of doing this are that we can eliminate the duplication of work and resources between months, and use an issue template to help with planning them. It also means that there is only one repository you need to check out to access all past talks. The con's of doing this are that it's possible older slides might stop working if some of their dependencies are changed without archiving older versions of the CSS and JS. I think we can all live with this though.

Adopt a Code Of Conduct

In person communities always benefit from a code of conduct, to encourage good behaviour and diversity. I propose to adopt this:

http://confcodeofconduct.com/

And just rename 'conference' to 'exchangejs' . We can then link to it each meetup.

Create a survey to understand sponsors

If we're going to attract sponsors we need to know who they are, what they want, and amount and type of support they can provide.

This doesn't need to be fancy, but it would be useful to have results by the start of July so we can plan over the summer.

Link slides for recent months on web site

The current website lists past meetups with their slides, but it's very out of date. This should be updated.

April 2017 Meetup

To Do

/cc @ExchangeJS/organizers

Find someone to speak about Angular 2

Create a sponsorship package

Deliver a one-page PDF we can send to sponsors. It should describe:

What the meetup is
Our mission
Who our members are
What we're going to do with the money
What you get for sponsoring
Our sponsorship levels
How to donate

Setup github template for monthly issue template

Create an issue template we can use planning our monthly meetups. This will include a TODO list of items we need to handle each month.

Exchange.js Mascot

A lot of my favourite projects and communities have great mascots (Go, Linux, Android, etc.) Is anyone interested in designing a mascot we could use on the website, stickers, twitter, etc?

ExchangeJS Conference in Edmonton

I would like to organise a conference for Javascript related topics. I would aim for either May or September. Has anyone ever done that and what would you actually want one in Edmonton?

Team up with StartUp Edmonton to help with the orga
We could use the ExchangeJS page for Conference details and Eventbrite to sell tickets.
Shaw Conference center as venue
Call for proposals
Catering
Flyer, Poster, Online advertisment

What do you guys think?

Educate and inspire by engaging the meetup with at least one community leader from projects shaping the way we work now and tomorrow every 3 months

educate and inspire by engaging the meetup with at least one community leader from projects shaping the way we work now and tomorrow every 3 months (i.e. React core team member, Angular team member, npm maintainer, etc.)

Upload index.html and related files for hosting?

Hi Mark: not sure if you're just planning to upload the existing index.html right now or planning to do something more complicated (like Jekyll) right off the bat.

Once we have something in this repo I can re-assign the DNS. (I can also move what I have online now in here as the starting point.)

Setup expense approval spreadsheet

The expense approval sheet should be used before items are expensed to get approval for the expense from the exec. As discussed, to be approved an expense must be:

Declared in advance of the purchase
Approved by a majority of the exec
Noted if it's a one-time or recurring expense

After the expense is approved, the submitter should either a) pay and then talk to the treasurer about getting reimbursed or b) arrange for the treasurer to make the payment directly. Please email the treasurer an electronic copy of the receipt (a photo, email, etc.)

Contact Sean O. about getting involved again

Move website DNS to project

Add file for github to recognize the TDL
Switch DNS to point at github pages

Add JS to redirect from HTTP to HTTPS

We want to start using Service Workers and other API's which require HTTPS, so lets get everyone used to using them.

Talk to Sean O. about getting an email address at @exchangejs.com

It sounds like Twitter will want to see email from [email protected] to get our twitter handle. @snostorm runs the domain and would therefore need to set this up.

Poll members for speakers

We're trying to reach out to the broader JavaScript community and connect Edmonton with developers and designers who are shaping the way we work with JavaScript now and in the future.

With this in mind, we need to poll members to see who they'd like us to try to connect with.

This could be tool makers, developers, inspirational figures, academics, entrepreneurs, etc.
