Evangelism: Weekly Update for May 1

[Gioyik]

It’s Friday, Friday... Gotta get down on Friday!

[diagramatics]

I think you might wanna change that IFTTT trigger so the title shows the next publication date instead!

(brought to you by the acclaimed nitpicker)

[Gioyik]

@diagramatics I would want it but IFTTT doesn't custom the date to show the one for next week, only has the function to show the current date day. :( So, I need to change it manually after issue is created.

REPL magic mode is proposed. nodejs/node#1513

[Gioyik]

johnny-five site launched: http://johnny-five.io/

[yosuke-furukawa]

iojs.org will transfer to iojs.io nodejs/node#1534

[julianduque]

@yosuke-furukawa what I understand is that iojs.io was donated to the project and it will redirect to iojs.org

[julianduque]

david-dm.org is now running on iojs: https://twitter.com/_alanshaw/status/592855646124531713
