| 10 | + <h1>About us</h1> |
| 11 | + <p>We are a JavaScript community that meets regularly in Austin, Texas, to discuss a wide range of topics, including:</p> |
| 12 | + <ul> |
| 13 | + <li>The JavaScript language</li> |
| 14 | + <li>JavaScript application frameworks</li> |
| 15 | + <li>Server and client-side JavaScript</li> |
| 16 | + <li>JavaScript on other people's sites</li> |
| 17 | + <li>Testing</li> |
| 18 | + <li>DevOps</li> |
| 19 | + <li>Cryptography</li> |
| 20 | + <li>How CSS colors got their names</li> |
| 21 | + <li>JavaScript position openings</li> |
| 22 | + </ul> |
| 23 | + <p>The group started back in 2009 and has been going strong ever since. For a taste of our rich history, take a peak at the <a href="/posts/meetups/">meetup archives</a>—they're full of videos and fascinating characters.</p> |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | + <h2>Meetings</h2> |
| 26 | + <p>We typically meet on the 3<sup>rd</sup> Tuesday of each month somewhere deep in the heart of Austin, Texas — typically downtown. We’ll have a speaker or two, open things up for questions and discussion, and then head to a nearby watering hole to continue the networking and the conversations.</p> |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | + <h2>Excellence</h2> |
| 29 | + <p>We work hard to build a community of good natured and helpful people that treat each other with <em>excellence</em>. We’ve formalized what this means into our <a href="/code-of-conduct/">Code of Conduct</a>.</p> |
