Howdy!
The Weather in Lisbon is 35C/95F, only 2 weeks left to the conference and we cannot even tell how excited we are to have you all coming to Lisbon(if you are not here already :))!
We do have some great updates to you! LXJS this year will not be only a two days conference, instead and thanks to the community we are proudt to be part off, we have a full week scheduled of JS events! (Meetups from MongoDB, D3JS, NodeSchool, Unhosted and Meteor)
If you happen you be a student, you are in luck, Meteor is back this year again to offer Students a Golden Ticket to LXJS and all you need to know is to simply develop a Meteor Hack or App to try out the platform and show case what you have learned at the Meteor Lisbon 1st Meetup! Learn more here http://lxjs.tumblr.com/post/88272598253/meteor-is-bringing-students-to-lxjs . If you have friends that are students, be sure to pass the message!
Also, in case you didn't notice, the first NodeRoad event in Europe will be in Lisbon, right after LXJS, thanks to Joyent, the corporate stewards of Node.js, for making it possible and Beta-i for sharing the Venue for this the event. Come and see Nuno Job of YLD! hosting a great line up including TJ Fontaine, the Node.js Project Lead, Ben Acker from Walmart, and Rudi De Sousa of British Gas as they share key learnings, benefits, and patterns around deploying Node.js.
