Fireside chat wording (somewhat time-sensitive)

monarchwadia · August 21, 2020, 9:19pm

Hi guys! Here’s the rough 1st draft of the fireside chat w/ Mintbean

My team will be adding star/fork counts for Redwood and Semver and Jekyll.

I know the wording & how we present Tom’s involvement is something we want to be mindful of. Would love feedback.

This is time sensitive because we need to promote the event & it is only a week away.

Formatting and spacing and indentation and even wording… are all very rough right now.
Just looking for overall feedback on the message so far.
This is iteration #1… you could even call it #0.1-alpha.

Ha! Alpha indeed – definitely Redwood style. I’ve looped in Tom and hopefully he’ll be able to take a look later today.

I’d say order the information more like

Co-founder Chatterbug and co-creator of RedwoodJS
Co-founder/CEO GitHub
Open Source Creator: Jekyll, SemVer, TOML, Gravatar

All good!

How’s this?

Nice! A few changes I’d make:

GitHub has a capital H
No need to list number of forks on projects (star count is nice though)
Gravatar was never open source
My standard and more recent photo is this one: https://www.dropbox.com/s/jm00es4nzkyhb9l/tpw-avatar.png?dl=0

What do you think @mojombo ?
Some spacing tweaks will be done but I think this is getting real close.

Thanks for making those changes, looks good to me!
