Overhaul the list to make it better (#94)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history 
* Overhaul list

The list needs an overhaul, badly. The conferences as they are aren't actually all the useful to anyone - some of these links are broken, some are old, and there's no general information on registration or CFPs. I've gone three and added a template and converted three as an example. I think that editing them and having a much fuller list would be good, for everyone.

Can others tell me if this looks like the right idea? Would you be keen on helping out?

Relevant to #3, #23, #34, #67, #69.

* Move past conferences, add videos, notes, and roundups

* add DEVit conference (#98)

* Added npmCamp and new lines where appropriate 🎉 (#99)

Thought it was odd that there weren’t any new lines in the conference sections when there were new lines in every other section so I just added them. Also deleted last line.

I wanted to add npmCamp because I had such a great time as a diversity scholarship recipient. And since it’s marketed as a community conference focused on all things npm, I figured it deserved **awesome** recognition.

# Awesome Conferences [![Awesome](https://cdn.rawgit.com/sindresorhus/awesome/d7305f38d29fed78fa85652e3a63e154dd8e8829/media/badge.svg)](https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome)

An awesome list of conferences. Inspired by the [awesome](https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome) lists thing.
> :ticket: A list of awesome conferences
_This was seeded initially from [@brittanystoroz's Twitter list](https://twitter.com/brittanystoroz/confs-and-meetups/). The `O-Reilly` folder is the dedicated front end where you can filter through all of the conferences listed by @joshsimmons on his [excel sheet](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ttYpVdCRb8G3ulesFrg6OvpJGKEXk6kmmtGWsyqWFw4/edit#gid=0). Initial work on this list was done by [@Stephn-R](https://github.com/Stephn-R)._
**Note**: This list is currently undergoing substantive changes. Take a look at the new conference entries; if you can, please help out by going through and filling out entries for the older conferences!
