1 DAY CONFERENCE

ScalaX2gether Community Day

Topics covered at #ScalaX2gether

Saturday, 16th December in London

5 experts spoke.
Overview

About the Event

The Community Day will follow 2 power packed days at Scala eXchange!

ScalaX2gether is a friendly place where you can get involved in Scala open source. Come along to meet new people, learn new things, and contribute to your favourite Scala projects.

It doesn't matter whether you've been coding Scala for three months or three years---there will be something for everyone. You don't even have to have attended Scala Exchange to participate.

You Control the Content

The event will be a single day in an unconference/hack day format. The full set of sessions and topics will be decided on the day, so bring your ideas and enthusiasm with you! Example sessions include:

  • Hacking on new and established open source projects

  • Docsprees and non-technical sessions

  • Workshops and explorations of FP ideas, concepts, and libraries

  • Round-table discussions on technical and non-technical topics

How It Works

We'll start with a series of introductions and invite all attendees to do 1 to 5 minute pitches for sessions they would like to attend or host. We'll collaboratively work out a timetable and then split off to attend the sessions that interest us. Here's a rough timetable:

  • 9am - Doors open , Registration & Welcome Refreshments

  • 10am - Introductions and session pitches

  • 10.30am - Schedule published, sessions start

  • 12.30pm - Lunch

  • 13.30pm - Sessions resume

  • 16.00pm - Drinks at SpaceBar

  • 17.00pm - #ScalaX2gether 2017 Wraps!

Highlights and Expected Projects

We have started a GitHub repo to collect ideas for projects, talks, workshops, and round table discussions.

We've had some specific session proposals. These will be available as options when we collaboratively decide on the programme:

  • Travis Brown - A tour of Typelevel by way of Circe

  • Greg Dorrell - Fullstack Scala with Play and Scala.js

  • Raul Raja Martinez - Building Purely Functional Microservices

  • Paulo Siqueira - Learning Scala with Minecraft Mods

  • Heiko Seeberger - Whirlwind Tour of Akka Typed

  • More TBC soon!
