Dec 5th JotSpot Meetup Details
Monday Dec 5th in Palo Alto
JotSpot’s next meetup is Monday December 5th and you’re invited! We’ll meet at our new office in Downtown Palo Alto, 167 Hamilton Ave, 2nd floor. We’re a block and a half from the University Ave Caltrain station so SF and SJ folks can bypass 101 and take Caltrain (or Bart + Caltrain – that’s what I do from SF).
The
last meetup
was more about drinks and hanging out. This time we’ll do some of that up front but then “get down to business” with some demos and
an interactive Jot theme tutorial Update: a set of BOF sessions.
Agenda
7:00 - 7:30 : drinks and snacks
7:30 - 8:15 : three 15-minute Jot demos exploring a range of apps and plugins
8:20 - 9:00 : BOF sessions
RSVP on the Wiki
As usual you can find this announcement on your favorite event sites for your calendaring pleasure:
12/2 Update
We’re de-structuring the meetup a bit and are replacing the theme tutorial with some BOF sessions. This will give folks more time to connect around common areas of interest while together. We’ve also set up a wiki page to plan and coordinate this and future meetups:
http://feedback.jot.com/JotMeetupPages/MeetupDec5th
There will also be:
- open wifi so bring your laptops
- a remote desktop, conference call, and IRC channel set up for folks who can’t make it to Palo Alto on Monday night.
See the meetup page for details.
Anyone Know a Good RSVP Service?
Anyone know a good web-services-enabled RSVP service?
Right now these announcements are going to three different calendar services and three different JotSpot’s 3 blogs (blog.jot.com, developer.jot.com/WikiHome, and feedback.jot.com/WikiHome). A central place to collect, manage, and view RSVPs from anywhere on the web would be way better than having comments and attendance indicators spread out over 6 sites.
Sounds like a nice little Web 2.0 service to me… Until then, we’ll RSVP on the Wiki

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Why not just put up a wiki and have people note their intent to attend? If no payments are involved, the important thing seems to be headcount. All the different sites would simply link to the meetup wiki.

Thanks for both suggestions thus far.
RSVP’ing directly on a wiki is one approach, but I’m thinking of something much more light weight. I’d like people to be able to RSVP very quickly, e.g. by filling out a little AJAXY form w/their name and email/blog address. Similar to a blog comment. RSVP’s collected across the different sites would then be managed with a simple little UI, or sucked into some other program via REST.
I like Mollyguard, but it seems better for accepting payment and feels heavyweight to me.
For now, we’ll indeed RSVP on the wiki
