DDD:IV

Dojo is having it's fourth annual Dojo-developer-day next week in Mountain View, California. Google has graciously donated use of several facilities, which is cool enough by itself. This Dojo Developer Day (I propose "DDD:IV"), and will be happening Feb 7th and 8th. If you can make it, or happen to be in the Bay Area, you are more than welcome to attend. It's free, and is one of the rare occasions you will see 20 or so core Dojo committers in a room together. Day two is dedicated to community things (mini hack-a-thons, tutorials, etc) seemingly on an organic kind of life cycle. Meaning: I think whatever we end up wanting to do, we will do. Like I said, 20 or more of the core Dojo developers in a room (a sea of MacBooks), and hopefully a large number of supporters, community developers, and advocates. Tentatively, It looks like I'm even scheduled to say a few things, which could be interesting in and of itself. Day one is dedicated to "annual meeting" type things, which may be just as interesting, and again: everyone is invited. (though there will be no "support" officially part of this day, the face to face with the devs and to see and understand the motivations behind things is a wonderful experience in all places.

We promise: absolutely no API breaking / earth shattering changes. This is all about making Dojo better, more accessible, easier, faster, and to spread tidings of good dojo cheer.

And it's completely free! If you wish you attend, simply RSVP my sending an email to rsvp at dojotoolkit dot org giving us a heads up/head count/days attending notice, and we'll get you the details. Do not miss this opportunity to have that face to face with the devs and fellow users alike. Two days of Dojo, potentially a full day of free "training" and discussion: A dedicated "Community Day", so be there.

This is my first DDD, and am seriously looking forward to it (though I met a number of the core devs at TAE:Boston last October). Hope to see all the familiars, and a slew of new faces floating around.

DDD I, II (3D2), and the "big 0.9 one": III (3D:NY)
