Thx @JamesMGreene for starting this issue!

@AnnMarieTonog and I work on community relations at Node Foundation and we would love to start helping plan/collaborate this and support the community as much as possible.

As node is an open source project, we know time constraints around volunteers can be painful to manage. So we'd love to take as much as we can off your plates as possible!

@dshaw @mcollina @MylesBorins @oe @hackygolucky going to start an email thread about this to see what we can do - or brainstorm on here as well.

October is coming up quickly! <3

Is Collaborator Summit in Vancouver going to happen over weekend (Oct 13-14)?
If that's the case, more collaborators might be able to join as it's weekend. If it's before the event (Oct 9-10), it might be difficult for some to take off from work.

@JamesMGreene the collaborator summit will likely be 2 days, Oct 12th and Oct 13th. The information was very confusing last year as well.

@ladyleet can you please confirm we have space for 2 days in Vancouver, like last year?
We will likely run a Code & Learn in the morning, and then summit on the afternoon and the day after.

The Collaboration Summit was 2 days last year, too? That makes way more sense but I left after the first day of it since I didn't know about the second day.

Hey all and thx @mcollina for the ping.

Yes - we do have space reserved. Have you all decided who will be the organizers of the next Collab Summit on the community side?

Let's chat about this next week after this Collab Summit and JSConfEU is completed - I will get all the information and we can determine the best action plan next week!

Can we get the event website updated to actually explain Saturday, Oct. 13th is also a Collaboration Summit day? Or is that intentional to discourage conference attendees who are not regular collaborators from attending?

@JamesMGreene we'll def address all concerns about this next week after we've had a chance to discuss internally - and make sure all is clear and not as confusing as last year. // @AnnMarieTonog

Like we did in Vancouver, at the end of the Europe Collaborator Summit we asked folks to volunteer to coordinate with the Foundation team and organize the next Collaborator Summit at JS Interactive.

Those individuals are:

ladyleet commented Jun 1, 2018

That is great all! :) I'm happy we found the leads. @AnnMarieTonog and I will be coordinating on the Node Foundation side.

Who will be leading and coordinating the Code & Learn from the community side?

Confirmed from the JS Interactive team that we have Friday and Saturday reserved for the Collaborator's Summit.

Friday will be from 1-6 and Saturday will be from 9-6 if that suits.

Lunch should probably happen offsite and we would love someone to sponsor this!

I'm still getting the size dimensions of the rooms reserved but for now:

Friday:
1 large room that can be split into 2
3 small breakouts

Saturday:
5 rooms

Additional question: Someone mentioned updating the website - do they mean the JS Interactive website to list out the code & learn and the collab summit?

Thanks much all! <3

Yes. We need to list also Saturday, it created so much confusion last year.
Moreover, that would need to be listed as the Node.js Collaborator Summit.
We need to mention that the event registration for the event will happen at XYZ, and that a ticket for the conference is not needed.

@nodejs/tsc @nodjes/community-committee are you in allowing access to non-collaborators? We would not have space for all attendees of JS Interactive, and we need some text to limit attendance (or maybe not).

@ladyleet how many people could we host both days?

ladyleet commented Jun 2, 2018

@mcollina still waiting on dimensions of rooms and the layout specs.

I'll poke around at the website and discuss with the JS Interactive team! :) Currently Friday is listed but Saturday is not - so that def needs to be changed.

Yes - please discuss on this thread what y'all are thinking of making sure you don't have a slew of people on Saturday. I would suggest we keep the conf dates listed as the same as it is currently 10-12 but perhaps list out the Collab Summit for Saturday too on the agenda? Do we need any special verbiage about what the Collab Summit is, etc?

I suggest we set up an Eventbrite or Google form to collect the info for Collab Summit this time. The registration could remind people that they need to be a collaborator - or give people more insight into what the Collab Summit actually is.

I think that would be ok. What does other things?

I think some special verbiage about the collab summit is needed. I would also add a link in the registration process with some text like "If you are a Node.js collaborator, the collaborator summit is going on 12th and 13th (one more day after the conference), don't forget to register at LINK". Feel free to change this to fit the process.

@mcollina got the info on the different rooms today!

For Friday, they have one large room for 120 persons + three small rooms that can fit 10 each. The one large room can also be split into two smaller rooms that can fit 60 each. Lara did mention that once the rooms are set, we can’t really go from one to two rooms or vice versa in a timely manner (basically, we should decide whether we can one or two rooms beforehand).

For Saturday, they have one room for 100 + four rooms for 50.

Are there going to be slots for presentations?

I was approached to give an overview over Node.js', Chrome's, and V8's release schedules, how we do integration testing, and how bisection into V8 works.

Hey, everyone! Just wanted to keep all of you in loop with what @ladyleet & I are working on!

  • Updating information on the JS Interactive website (https://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/js-interactive-2018/agenda/agend-at-a-glance-2/)
    - Making sure it says “Node.js Collab Summit”, instead of just “Collab Summit”
    - Adding second day Oct 13, making sure to avoid advertising it
  • Figuring out registration for both Code + Learn & Collab Summit
    - Working with the events team to set this up, so we don’t have to make a separate registration
    apart from JS Interactive registration

If there’s anything else you need help with please let me know! :) More than happy to assist where I can.

@AnnMarieTonog

Hi, all - worked with the events team to create a way for separate registration for Collab Summit

Link here: https://www.regonline.com/?eventID=2152653&rTypeID=511098
Access code: COLLABSUMMITONLY

This can also be a way for collaborators to get visa letters needed for travel - the email confirmation you receive after registering will provide details on this, or you can just go ahead and visit this link:
https://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/elc-openiot-north-america-2018/attend/visa-request/

For any requests that have been previously been denied, please register first for the summit, then re-send your request in through the visa request form.

// @ladyleet

@ladyleet

Yes - we did hear that a few were denied for some reason - perhaps it was because there was no registration attached? Happy to help trouble shoot this.

Let us know if you have any questions!

@codeekage you are talking about registration for JSI correct? If you are talking about registration for JSI you can just choose the nearest country.

Our system (I know, I wish we could change this) will not add Nigeria bc they have experienced fraud before.

If you are talking about for the visa invitation letter, Nigeria is on drop down.

Hope this helps? Let me know. And thanks for bringing this up!

I missed the survey @joyeecheung just closed. I plan to be at the conference and the summit. Is there some place to register our intent to be at the collab summit besides the survey? Thanks.

joyeecheung commented Jul 20, 2018

@lance The survey was mainly used to estimate the cost so that we can get back to the foundation events team with a number of JS Interactive tickets we need them to sponsor (also see if we are going to spend all the funds allocated for this year). If you do not need a sponsored JS Interactive ticket (which is separated from the collab summit), I think you can just leave a comment here since we do anticipate more people to show up than those who participated in the survey.

@joyeecheung thanks for getting back to me. I do not need a ticket for JS Interactive, but will be there for both the conference and the collab summit. Looking forward to it!

You will only be charged a cancellation/no-show fee of $50.00 USD if you do not cancel by 11:59pm PST on Tuesday, October 2, 2018, or do not attend the event. Your credit card will only be charged under these circumstances. This helps us in planning accurately for the event.

I don't think that I entirely understand what is written there :-/. I suppose that this means that «if you do not cancel by … and do not attend», but when reading it on the first time, it did not look clear to me what would happen if I do not cancel and attend the event. Or if I do cancel before October 2, and do not attend the event.

@ladyleet

ladyleet commented Aug 5, 2018

Yes in order to account for the cost of saving the space and getting the food you will need to cancel by October 2 or if you were a no-show then you will be charged $50.

Unfortunately this is the standard and we weren’t able to change it but hopefully it just makes everyone accountable so that we don’t rack up a huge bill for the space and food :-)

ChALkeR commented Aug 5, 2018

@ladyleet that itself is totally fine, I am saying that the exact wording is on that page is unclear.

It says:

You will only be charged a cancellation/no-show fee of $50.00 USD if you do not cancel by 11:59pm PST on Tuesday, October 2, 2018, or do not attend the event.

It could be read as: «You will only be charged in either of these two cases: (1) you do not cancel by 11:59pm PST on Tuesday, October 2, 2018, (2) you do not attend the event».

Which, as I presume, is not what was meant.

@Trott @addaleax how can folks like @choilmto get involved with code & learn?

@choilmto if you are attending JSI, you are welcome to attend collab summit as well!

@benjamingr

@ladyleet the Node collaborator summit is typically limited to project members - people who are not Node core or involved in Node initiatives directly will likely not benefit from attending.

As for code & learn - I think it would be great if they participated and volunteered - though as a participant in the code and learn rather than as a mentor since a code & learn literally teaches how to contribute code to Node core (unless they are already a collaborator and I missed it).

@benjamingr either it's open to the public, or it is limited to members/collaborators. In the past, there have been significant contributions from individuals that were not members, but rather people that are interested in some of the subjects that just wants to be part of the discussion. Thanks to this approach, we welcomed more people into our community.
