Several folks asked for a JavaScript event during the run-up to Scaling PHP in the Cloud, and we figured if we were going to do one, it had to be really good.
jsFoo is about building entire web apps in JavaScript, whether using Node.js in the backend or Backbone.js in the front-end. At this event, we’re seeking the best JS programmers from across India to present on how they do it and how you can do it too.
Check out the session proposals and vote on the proposals you like.
The event does not have a website yet. This is your early notice. As a commitment to JS, we’re building the event’s website using Node.js. Here’s an experimental corner that uses WebSockets to livestream the #hasgeek IRC channel from Freenode. You should consider hanging out in the channel too.
Special thanks to Aditya Yadav (@NetRoY), who built it.
Early Geek ticketing is already open. The event is on October 1 in Bangalore. We surveyed 20+ potential venues across Bangalore last week and will announce the selected venue within the week (venues can be forgetful unless the booking was made in cash, but I’ve been travelling through the past month, so it’ll be a few more days). Get your ticket now.
We are also accepting sponsorships for jsFoo. We’re working on the sponsor kit and will put it out in a few days, but it’s roughly on the same lines as Scaling PHP in the Cloud. See that event’s sponsor document (PDF).
Do tell your friends about jsFoo. If you are a JS guru and would like to present, add a session proposal. We’ll make the schedule on Sep 10th based on the most voted-up proposals.
