@yaannakbr can you give more details on the different pools and why they matter ?

We built https://passpass.co for quick one time password sharing.

Not a full fledge solution but useful for quick one time sharing. Curious if people here find it helpful.

I just announced the meetup. You can find it here: http://www.meetup.com/Miami-node-js-Meetup/events/227782873/

Agenda has not been published yet. We are still accepting talk proposals.

Yes, the bootcamp is targeted towards people who have experience programming but zero experience with Erlang.

In 2011, we had more than 100 people attend the first edition of the ErlangDC conference.

Since then, we've seen an uptick on the attendance of the monthly meetups which we've been having more regularly: http://www.meetup.com/erlang/. We've been getting between 12 to 20 people attend the meetups.

We are hosting one next week actually in which Jordan Wilberding will be talking about Credit Card processing for mobile apps.

The main goal of the conference is to improve the DC Erlang community. All the money that's left over is used to support the DC meetup group.

Organizer here: we offer 25% discount to students. Just email me a picture of your student ID and I will send you a discount code.

We are still using the 1.x branch of Sproutcore.

The widgets are really useful. Your apps will not be very different if you use them with the same theme every time but I think it's ok for a demo to show customers during the Problem Interview phase.

I agree that the state model is a bit overly complex but if you go past the learning curve it can work well. Also there are ways to kind of bypass it and use an approach more similar to what Backbone/Spine does. There is a recent blog post by the SC team that shows you you can do that with 2.0 branch: http://blog.sproutcore.com/sproutcore-2-and-ajax/

A trick I learned from a friend while in grad school. When they have football games, walk around the tailgate parties right before the game is about to start, people will almost pay you to take their extra food so that they can get to the game. And it's usually pretty good food...

For better results, go next to the ones thrown by corporations. They usually order too much food and the employees do not care and do not want to bring the food back home.

Oh.. and bring an empty backpack :)

This is smart. After the contest, anytime you search for one of the terms in their dictionary on search.twitter.com, then @engineyard will show up (assuming there are a lot of entries).

All they have to do is make the dictionary include terms that potential engineyard customers might search for on Twitter.
