The Sunny Lisbon

Lisbon is the warm and sunny capital city of Portugal, and the largest city in the country. Rich in culture and architecture, it is one of the oldest European cities, which over time was known by many names such as Luxbona, Lixbuna or Ulixbone (names which gave way to the commonly used LX shorthand). Along it's seven hills, while walking along the cobbled streets known as Calçada Portuguesa, you will find amazing food, amazing architectural relics and various museums. And don't forget to stroll along the Tagus river, the narrow streets of Alfama, vist the nightlife of Bairro Alto, the classic and elegant stores of Chiado or the gardens of Belém. And while you're at it, do not forget to try some Pastéis de Belém!

Party

Our first day party will be taking place at Pensão Amor.

Pensão Amor is located in an 18th century building full with memories of the time when it was a cheap inn with rooms rented by the hour to prostitutes and their clients to enjoy a short moment of love.

Getting there

The party starts at 19:00 and it's right next to Mercado da Ribeira, on the busy streets of Cais do Sodré, less than a 3 minute walk away.

The party

The party will have finger food served, open bar with carefully selected drinks and DJ Voodoo will be playing music for the night.

The party is presented by:

After Party - Adobe BoatJS

For our after party on the second day of the conference we are taking you on a boat ride in the Tagus River, proudly sponsored by Adobe!

Once you get to the party make sure you tweet something nice with the hashtags #adobe and #boatjs!

Getting there

Buses leave at 18:25 from Mercado da Ribeira, headed for Doca de Alcântara, a 5 minute ride.

We will start boarding the LVT Boat at 18:30, boat leaves at 18:45 max.

The party

The party will be a 2 hour boat ride in the Tagus River, where drinks and light snacks will be served.

There's no buses provided to take you back to Cais do Sodré afterwards, but there are trains from Alcântara back to Cais do Sodré.

Afterwards, those who wish to keep on partying can go up from Cais do Sodré and explore the nightlife of Lisbon around the Bairro Alto area where you can find many and varied bars and clubs.

Significant Other Track

Our Significant Other Track itinerary is ready! Be sure to share it with your significant other and assure this will be 2 days of fun for both of you.

The tickets can be bought at the LXJS tito.io portal for a nominal fee of 20 euros.

This 2 day gettting to know Lisbon tour will be sure to keep your husband/wife, boyfriend/girlfriend, pet or teletubbie doll (we do not discriminate) entertained, having a lot of fun and learning a lot about the city.

Code of Conduct

All attendees, speakers, sponsors and volunteers at LXJS are required to agree with the following code of conduct. Organizers will enforce this code throughout the event.

The Quick Version

LXJS is dedicated to providing a harassment-free conference experience for everyone, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, or religion. We do not tolerate harassment of conference participants in any form. Sexual language and imagery is not appropriate for any conference venue, including talks and workshops. Conference participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the conference without a refund at the discretion of the conference organizers.

The Less Quick Version

Harassment includes offensive verbal comments related to gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, religion, sexual images in public spaces, deliberate intimidation, stalking, following, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks or other events, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention.

Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately.

Sponsors are also subject to the anti-harassment policy. In particular, sponsors should not use sexualized images, activities, or other material. Booth staff (including volunteers) should not use sexualized clothing/uniforms/costumes, or otherwise create a sexualized environment.

If a participant engages in harassing behavior, the conference organizers may take any action they deem appropriate, including warning the offender or expulsion from the conference with no refund.

If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact a member of conference staff immediately. Conference staff can be identified by a clearly marked "STAFF" yellow shirt.

Conference staff will be happy to help participants contact hotel/venue security or local law enforcement, provide escorts, or otherwise assist those experiencing harassment to feel safe for the duration of the conference. We value your attendance.

We expect participants to follow these rules at conference and workshop venues and conference-related social events.

    I’ve been programing since I was a little kid; my professional career started with doing contract web development work while I was in college. In 2011 I was working on a project that really needed node.js. But as all developers working on that project were using windows we were unable to use it, so I started porting it to windows as a side project. Soon after I was hired by Rackspace to dedicate all my time to node.js and finish the job. That was how I became one of the first node core contributors. Nowadays I am working at Cloud9 IDE in Amsterdam, who generously let me work on making node more awesome.
