We are working on a series of one-day developer events to be held around the U.S. (to start*), that will include seminars and plenty of opportunities to hack on a few things.
The day itself will vary in format from location to location, but the goal is the same: bring the Joyent developer community closer together, provide the tools you need to build a successful web application and meet some fun people in the process.
We’ll be posting more details on the sessions as we finalize them, right now, we are curious as to what cities YOU feel we should absolutely visit. I have a list of 16 cities on our white board right now, I would like to bring that number down to 5 for the launch.
*Once the first five cities are under our belt, we will look at expanding the U.S. list based on your replies, and hopefully hopping the pond to visit our European friends as well as those down under.
UPDATE: 5/6/08
The five cities, leading by a mile, are: San Francisco Bay Area, Washington DC, New York, Boston, Chicago, and Austin.
I am going to leave the poll open through Friday, May 9th at 5pm PST and will post the results next Monday with proposed dates. If your city is not one of the five listed, vote now.

Did I read about two weeks ago that Jason said in a blog comment that he was going to write up a comparison between EC2 & Accelerators?
I’m looking for the blog comment but can’t find it.
Did you guys seriously delete a comment that you made? (Seems kind of weird to me to do)
Hi Greg,
The comment is at http://www.joyeur.com/2008/04/17/top-3-keys-to-viral-apps-on-facebook#comment
I’ve been traveling through Argentina for OpenSocial developer events, and my post was being passed around internally, I’ll see where it’s at.
Let it go Greg. Jason has been traveling and is a busy guy.
We love Joyent up here in Canada as well… Toronto and Vancouver are decent sized tech. hubs, I’m sure a Developer Day would be well received.
The beer’s worth the trip alone.
You guys are selling BingoDisk again? (Link on left side of blog)
I thought you stop months ago after the continuous outages.
@Jason: Both cities are on my must do list.
@Nick: We stopped selling new Strongspace accounts. BingoDisk is available to purchase today.
