Since I’m on a business trip to Portland, I participated in a meetup called PDXNode Presentation Night. Let me share how it went.
PDXNode is the Portland version of the regional Node.js community. It was created on January 16, 2013, so it seems to be a community with a long history.
Here’s the agenda-style update article for today:
Today’s venue was provided by the Vacasa office.
I learned for the first time today that they’re a company that provides services like a vacation rental version of Airbnb.
Craig Fisk, who was sitting next to me, struck up a conversation, which was super helpful.
There used to be a service called GeoCities, and this was a presentation by someone developing a service called Neocities, which is inspired by it.
Apparently there’s an online ClojureScript execution environment called KLIPSE.
I think I’ll participate in some other meetups without being discouraged by English.
That’s all from the Gemba.
