Hey all! Let’s make this official. We are hosting the first-ever SST conference. SST 1.0 Conf is a virtual event to celebrate SST’s v1 launch. It’s on May 17th, 9am PDT. Head over to the site and register: https://v1conf.sst.dev We have a great lineup of speakers from our community. Including @Zack McKenna from Comcast, @Tamara Dottin from Acre, @luke from The LEGO Group, @Albert from Shell Recharge Solutions, @Kevin Baker from Analog Devices, @Karo from Endpoint, and @Boris Tane from Baseline. We are also looking for a couple more speakers. All our talks will be around 10 minutes, so if you’ve got something to share, just fill this out and we’ll get in touch. https://forms.gle/KTdbCLUy5oNwos2m7 We’ll be sprinkling in more details in the coming days. But I can’t be more excited to get us all together for this! PS: If you have some ideas on how to make the event more fun, feel free to let us know!

Nice domain.

hosting the event in Altspace VR would be cool 😉 (sorry, I’m a VR nut)

Thanks @Adrián Mouly! We’ll be moving to it soon. @Sam Hulick ooh I’ll check it out. It’d be fun to do some kind of a party.

Altspace is so cool. Microsoft owns it I think. there have been quite a few events held in that space. people without VR headsets can participate too, I’m pretty sure

@Jay the important question is…. is the new site built/deployed with SST?

Haha we’ll make the repo public soon. But yeah it’s a simple StaticSite.

I'm excited about the launch and the conference, but man 9am PDT is 4am in New Zealand, might be an interesting time to be up and running 😅

Is going to be recorded?

Yeah it’ll be recorded! @gligor time zones are rough!

I know @Jay, not only for scheduling either 🤣

ah yeah, you can apparently access Altspace from a desktop. https://altvr.com/get-altspacevr/

Yeah let me check it out.

when we eventually hire full-time employees, I wanna include a Meta Quest 2 as part of the welcome package 😄

@Sam Hulick we're looking into the same 😂 I must say our first experience with VR meetings was eerie... But We've also been programming in VR. Here's my latest setup

@Chad (cysense) super cool! what are you using to bring your desktop into the Quest home like that??

Just shared the news on the French AWS Group Slack !

In regards to speakers, is there any chance that y'all are looking for someone with more Junior experience to speak about how SST has helped me at my job?

@JP (junaway) thanks!
