NodeConf EU 2023 Wrap up - 30 second Red Hat perspective

Michael Dawson

Red Hat was recently at NodeConf EU, which was held on November 6-8th 2023.  This is one of the key Node.js events in Europe and always puts on a great show. As was the case in recent years it was held in-person at the Lyrath Estate in Kilkenny, Ireland. Over the 3 days, there was a mix of talks in the morning and workshops in the afternoon. If possible, this year there was even more content related to development and work within the Node.js project than in past years, balanced by talks covering the use of Node.js to deliver value.

Red Hat Node.js team experience at OpenJS World and Open Source Summit Europe 2023

Michael Dawson +1

We are just back from OpenJS World Europe which was held last week. The second OpenJS World this year was part of Open Source Summit Europe. That meant a wide opportunity to network and learn about other technologies while still being a good opportunity to catch up with our fellow JavaScript and Node.js contributors.

Red Hat Node.js team at OpenJS World and Open Source Summit Europe

Michael Dawson

OpenJS World Europe is almost upon us. This event brings together both the JavaScript and Web communities, which include not only Node.js, but other OpenJS Foundation projects such as Electron, webpack, and more. This year there is a second instance of OpenJS World in Europe which is part of Open Source Summit Europe. This offers a second opportunity for sharing and learning with a broader audience, something that we are looking forward to. We are proud that Red Hat is a sponsor of the Open Source Summit supporting this collaboration.
