About Joind.in

Joind.in brings attendee feedback to speakers at events, quickly and transparently. Getting feedback lets speakers improve, attendees be heard, and organisers find out what really works (and doesn't!) at their events. All this means ... better events and speakers!

Some highlights of using joind.in with your event:

• Let us know your CfP dates and we'll help spread the word. Other organisations use our data feed and we also run https://callingallpapers.com
• Schedule view: with your talks entered, people can use joind.in to view the schedule by track or in agenda layout
• Speakers get great feedback and improve every year - having this feature means a lot to them

Event Organisers

If you want to use joind.in to get feedback to your speakers, then you're welcome to do so! Head over to the events page and submit your event details. These are approved by a human (usually within a couple of days) and we'll email you when your event is ready for you to edit.

Speakers

Claim your talks! When you're listed as giving a talk, this will be attached to your account when you claim it and the event organiser has approved your claim. Once claimed, you can edit your talk record to add links to slides and reply to comments by attendees

Open Source

Joind.in is built and run by volunteers, and is an open source project. If you want to get involved, we'd be delighted to have you, regardless of who you are or your level of experience - lots of people make their first contributions to open source on this project and we try hard to make it easy to get started with.

Some important information for working with Joind.in:

• Follow the Joind.in Blog for news and official announcements.
• Joind.in has a Code of Conduct for all our projects that all our participants and contributors are required to follow. You can expect this project to be respectful and welcoming, regardless of your background.
• Look at the bug tracker to report bugs (bug reporting is a very important open source contribution!) and to see what kinds of things we're working on: https://github.com/joindin/joindin-web2/issues for the web application and https://github.com/joindin/joindin-api/issues for the API. Check out the "easypick" issues we have tagged there - these are specifically aimed at people new to the project and don't need too much understanding of how the wider system works.
• You don't need permission to get started, just assign a task to yourself so we know you're working on it.
• Get set up with the development platform, you will need VirtualBox and Vagrant installed, then follow the README here: https://github.com/joindin/joindin-vm

  • https://github.com/joindin/joindin-web2 is the repo for the new website
  • The new site uses an API, which is at https://github.com/joindin/joindin-api
  • The old website (maintenance mode, we're unlikely to accept contributions other than security fixes for this one) https://github.com/joindin/joind.in
  • Javascript widgets for speakers and events to use on their site: https://github.com/joindin/JoindIn.js
