THIS EVENT IS NO LONGER ACTIVE; THIS ACCOUNT IS NOT CHECKED. • Monthly event with talks on tech, community, and creativity served with donuts and friendliness.
🧰🍩 @vaidehijoshi will talk about the Javascript object model—used by many… understood by few? She'll explore the inner workings and hidden properties of JS objects, how to interact with them, and why they even matter!
📖🍩 @zdavis will talk about Manifold Scholarship, an Open Source Publishing platform he's working on, and discuss the challenges facing the academic publishing industry, what different groups are doing to solve those problems, and why open access tools are so important!
🎩🍩 @ronbronson will talk about dark patterns (those tricks that make us sign up for or buy something we didn't mean to), exploring parallels with older industry practices and discussing what we can do about them!

Wow. Friday is the only day of the week whose name doesn’t even have a second letter that could be used to spell DONUT.
This is a big deal. We are living in a w
February being a shorter month means you don’t have to wait as long as usual between this Donut.js and the next one. 🍩‿🍩 (And yes the math behind this is *rock solid* and not made up, please do not embarrass us Online)
THANK YOU SO MUCH to everyone for coming out on Tuesday! We had a great time ringing in the first Donut.js of 2019 with excellent talks from @MollyJeanBee and @thelongshanx and @KLPainterPDX, and learned more about the work of @PuebloUnidoPDX. 🎤🍩‿🍩🎉
We’ve got @thelongshanx talking about the weird and wild ways that bees work, reproduce, and make it through the seasons. Pictured here, she tells us how Aristotle was wrong about the lead bee of the hive being a king—it’s a queen!

Behind her is a projector screen with a picture of a king (representing the mistaken early conception of the queen bee as a ‘king’), the ‘We Can Do It’ picture (representing the worker bee), and Jean Luc-Picard as a borg (representing the drone bee).
@MollyJeanBee gave an enlightening, motivating, and silly talk about supporting #internetexplorer@donutjs tonight. Supporting ie11 is about accessibility & equity!
And @MollyJeanBee reminds us that the internet is a human right, and that it is for everyone! By excluding Internet Explorer from your supported browsers, you are excluding users who may not have a choice to change their browser or the means to do so.
We’ve got @MollyJeanBee talking to us about the agony and empathy (and occasional ecstasy) of supporting Internet Explorer! Pictured here, a perfectly honed layout that has broken free and gone its own way!

We’ve got @KLPainterPDX giving a wonderful talk about the pros and cons of working remotely! Pictured here: the perils of distractions, including the fuzzy four-legged kind!
