On the night


Thanks to @sebasporto for his presentation, re: rails/requirejs/angularjs working in beautiful harmony
The loltastic over-engineered directive-to-end-all-directives is here: http://codepen.io/geelen/pen/mnzcf (Thanks to @mikebertolacci in particular for volunteering to drive)
Some other cool things on the global angular object: equals, copy, extend, forEach, etc (map is in HEAD)

Other stuff to be aware of


http://www.lookahead.com.au/ are a bunch of pros, they sponsored us last night and have JS jobs going, so you should talk to them.
http://campjs.com/ is in two weeks! It's going to be super awesome, some great people are going, and there's interesting talks!
http://webdirections.org/wds13/ is in October, and is looking really good. $949 with the code ngMelb.
