REST Fest is just four weeks away!
POST YOUR TALK PROPOSALS
"Everyone talks, everyone listens" at RESTFest. To make this work, we encourage everyone to add at least one (usually two) 5in5 talk proposals to their profile page (yes, you need a profile page!). Don't worry about details or complex descriptions, just post a title and short abstract so everyone can see what you're thinking about. I posted my first proposal here: https://github.com/RESTFest/2014-Greenville/wiki/Mike-Amundsen
REGISTRATION IS STILL OPEN
We have about 25 ppl signed up for RESTFest 2014 -- cool. We usually allow for as many as 50 ppl. Feel free to promote RESTFest on your social network and w/ friends.
HACKDAY IS A BAKE-OFF on "To-Do" LISTS
Looks like hackday is shaping up to be a "bake-off" on a simple To-Dp spec:
https://github.com/RESTFest/2014-Greenville/wiki/Hack-day
This is still in progress and now is the time to add your ideas, comments, etc. to the page. The current plan is to "group up" onsite and spend the day implementing a client, server or both w/ your team. The spec will continue to morph throughout the next couple weeks so keep an eye on it and contribute anytime.
LODGING IS TIGHT
This year RESTFest falls on the same weekend and a handful of other events in the area. hotel rooms are tight. Be sure to lock in a room ASAP and post it here:
https://github.com/RESTFest/2014-Greenville/wiki/Lodging
If you need rides or room recommendations, use the wiki and post on this list. We'll spend all day in the downtown location so you really just need to get into the city in the AM and back home safely at the end of the day.
So, there you go! Fill in your talk proposals, get your room and travel booked, prep for the hackday and let's all have a good time in Greenville.
Cheers.
