Build up something quick from chaos

[anchnk]

Context

During the first week of may, Berlin is hosting lots of events heavily focused around Web Development and JavaScript.

Here's a quick list of some events :

• 28/04 – 09/04 : WTF Berlin
• 04/05 – 05/05 : Node Collaborator Summit
• 04/05 : BerlinJS Meetup
• 06/05 – 07/05 : JSConfEU

It means some vim users are going to be in town. This is a great opportunity for vim, neo-vim's users and developers to exchange and level up.

Subjects

IMO, vim isn't the first editors you would think of when speaking of modern Web Development. Atom, Sublime, Brackets, VSCode would come up first. So the material shouldn't be too advanced and more focused for a beginner to intermediate audience. Also the very short amount of time would make it difficult to present advanced content in a simple way. So let's stick to something simple.

Some examples could be :

• A very quick snip into vim modal system (what it is, what does it try to solve, what the benefits in the long run ?).
• Basic moves and more intermediate moves in order to increase daily production.
• vim configuration
• vim plugins for modern Web development.
• vim vs neovim ( I think we do have some neovim developers in town, that would be great to put them in the loop).
• Asynchronous linting, transpiling and the likes.
• Auto completion.
• vim-ide and bundle project like webvim.
• really quick overview to main vim concepts (registers, buffers, macros etc...).
• TBC

TBD

• Define content (what to present, how & by who ?)
• Find people who could be interested (developers using vim, vim developers, people from the meetup).
• Communicate (twitter, gitter, IRC, official events)
• Choose and lock a date and time (04th May end of afternoon seems a good one)
• Book a place (co.up seems perfect, the node summit is happening there).

Contribute

Everyone is welcome, this is a community effort.
Feel free to reach @vimberlin on twitter, the gitter/irc vimberlin channel .
The main goal remains to freely exchange knowledge around nowadays vim ecosystem

Closing this issue as it didn't work.
Sorry for that, bad timing.
Vimfest sounds like a good opportunity to reschedule.
