I’ll be blunt: We need to get more people speaking and presenting to the JavaScript community.
JS Nation is still accepting submissions for presentations for their June 2022 conference. If there’s anyone here who is preparing material for an upcoming Meteor meetup, or for Impact, please make a submission.
I also think a presentation from someone on the core team of what Meteor is and what’s been done lately, and why it still matters today even with the onslaught of other frameworks and trends is a good first step and a way to start priming the developer pipeline again. This has to be someone from Meteor Software to signal that there is unwavering commitment to the health of the framework from the core developer/sponsor/owner, and that Meteor still matters and stands out as a viable framework for building modern applications.
There are a lot of openings for speakers here. It would be a shame if Meteor did not take one or two of them.
However, we should keep our eyes out for these opportunities, and post them as they appear. Hopefully, this will create awareness of the events that are happening, and encourage members to get involved sharing what they know and have learned.
If someone is doing a presentation on any of these events, reach out to @kevintayong and we can try to provide some Meteor swags like mugs, and stickers.
I will be going to Open Source Summit Japan and be staying in Japan till end of January (or mid-February). So if anyone else is going or is around Japan please let me know.
MongoDB World 2023
Has not yet been announced, but I expect it to be in June 2023 in NYC. I will be going if I can secure an early-bird ticket. It was a blast this year and I would highly recommend it for everyone. I’ll try to also figure out some Meteor talk to give there. Let’s get at least 10 Meteor devs there with Meteor t-shirts!
