5/8/13 Update: We will be meeting on the 8th floor of SURF. On the 8th floor, go in through the front doors, and turn left to find the open meetup space.
The Seattle Node.js Meetup group is kicking things into gear with our next event, scheduled for Wednesday, May 8 and hosted downtown at the SURF Incubator. We’ll have pizza, beers, talks, and lightning talks to get you socializing, listening, and talking about all things Node.js. Please RSVP at the Meetup event page.
We’re also launching a new group website at http://seanode.github.io/, hosted at our GitHub repository, for additional articles, posts, and information from the local Node.js community. And, we’ve started a new Twitter account, @seattlenode, which we hope you’ll follow.
