Session Proposal: Dojo track

[dylans]

Proposal

We would like to offer a mini-track for those interested in getting started with using and/or contributing to Dojo. This would be in addition to our Dojo workshop.

Topic of the session

• Part 1: Introduction to modern Dojo
• Part 2: Making your first contribution to Dojo
• Part 3: Office hours/support for questions from the Dojo workshop

Type of the session

• Collaborate
• Workshop
• Talk

Timezone of facilitators

Mix of BST and PDT

Estimated duration of the session

• 1 hour for introduction
• 1 hour for first contribution
• TBD for office hours/support

Follow-up / Set-up sessions (if any)

We see this as a track/progression which is why we proposed it as one issue. Let me know if we need to split this up.

Level

• Beginner
• Intermediate
• Advanced

Pre-requisite knowledge

• Modern JavaScript and TypeScript development is beneficial.
• Attending the conference Dojo workshop is beneficial.

Describe the session

Part 1: An introduction to the features and key APIs of building applications with modern Dojo, a progressive and reactive TypeScript framework.

Part 2: Learn the steps to identify an issue, make a contribution, test, open a PR, review the CI results, and then request a review.

Part 3: Need help either building your first Dojo app or making your first Dojo contribution? The Dojo team will be available to answer your questions and review your code.

@dylans were you imagining this would be better run on the new contributor day or on the project day? I think it works either day!

[dylans]

Hi @jorydotcom I agree that it works either way, or we could split it across days if that's better. We're flexible!

[jorydotcom]

Hi @dylans @matt-gadd @gubler - I'd like to confirm that you're available to run this session at 11 a.m. GMT-5 on Monday, June 22 (9 a.m. PDT, 5 p.m. BST). Let me know if that works and we will get it added on the website!

Also, please share any information you would like to surface to attendees prior to the session. If there are links, install directions, etc that would be great to include!

[gubler]

I think there is some confusion. I know nothing about Dojo and I have not volunteered to do anything for your foundation. I assume this is a case of mistaken identity. I am Daryl Gubler, not Anthony Gubler.

[jorydotcom]

Terribly sorry Daryl!

[gubler]

Mistakes happen - no worried :)

I hope you event goes well.

[dylans]

This works for us @jorydotcom
