Potch's Hacks Wireframes
http://potch.github.io/hax/home.html
- feedback:
- category-based navigation
- (callahad) I would equally enjoy a restricted set of categories -- focus us down to "web platform, firefox, demos / videos..." I don't know, whatever our essential categories are ;)
- I guess I'm also looking for some sort of way to differentiate between evergreen content and more river-of-news content.
- larger font on article page
- stable of pre-set 'themes' for the hero space, based on series/topics/other
- video content as 1st class citizen on blog- routes to YT or ? to embed or not?
- category-based navigation
Team Meeting w/o Jason Next Week?
Yep!
Q & A
callahad: What's up with Whistler?
jason: We have a room booked for the whole week; we'll have a few mandatory meetings with Andreas' groups. Let's start thinking about this as a recurring item in our weekly meetings.
Havi: We've got two community members coming (MDN TechSpeakers Pilot folks, etc.) They'll probably be busy, but we want to make sure they hang out with us a bit.
Jason: Right. Need to talk about good/bad presentation techniques, collecting / collating data from conferences, etc. Inviting Sandra from Events as well. We will not do silly team-building exercises.
Anything Else?
- JSConf EU CFP extended by a month -- you have until end of May to submit!
- Jason wants to start thinking about 5 year vision for tech + us. "People over-estimate 5 years, under-estimate 1 year."
