通過freeCodeCamp

Free Code Camp現在有本地組 (Free Code Camp now has Local Groups)

Our open source community was born online. And our campers are adept at using the internet to communicate. Most of this communication is just short text messages back and forth. But there’s a lot of it.

我們的開源社區誕生于在線。 而且我們的露營者都善于使用互聯網進行交流。 這種交流中的大部分只是來回的短文本消息。 但是有很多。

A lot of our campers use Twitter to communicate, too.Still, there’s something about hanging out with people in-person. You get higher-bandwidth communication. You can sketch things out on a whiteboard. You can play ping pong. You can give each other hugs or high fives.

我們的許多露營者也使用Twitter進行交流，不過，還有一些與人們進行現場交流的內容。 您將獲得更高帶寬的通信。 您可以在白板上畫草圖。 你可以打乒乓球。 您可以互相擁抱或擊掌。

Our community is scattered across the globe. The closest most of our campers have come to “hanging out” is pair programming together on Screen Hero.

我們的社區遍布全球。 我們大多數營員最接近“閑逛”的是在Screen Hero上一起進行配對編程。

More than half of our campers live outside the United States. But that’s about to change. We’ve always encouraged our campers to go to hackathons and after-work coding events. Many of them live in cities with Hackerspaces or Makerspaces where they can rub shoulders with other coders.

我們一半以上的露營者居住在美國以外。 但這將改變。 我們一直鼓勵露營者參加黑客馬拉松和下班后的編碼活動。 他們中的許多人生活在擁有Hackerspaces或Makerspaces的城市中，他們可以與其他編碼員并肩作戰。

In big cities like San Francisco, there are JavaScript-related meetups several nights a month. (photo from SFHTML5) But telling our campers “go check Meetup.com” is only so helpful. From the beginning, we’ve wanted a tool to connect you with other campers in your city, so that you can coordinate going to big events together, and even plan events of your own.

在像舊金山這樣的大城市，每個月有幾個晚上舉行與JavaScript相關的聚會。 (照片來自SFHTML5 )但是告訴我們的露營者“去檢查Meetup.com”是非常有幫助的。 從一開始，我們就需要一個工具來將您與城市中的其他露營者聯系起來，以便您可以一起協調大型活動，甚至可以策劃自己的活動。

We considered Eventbrite.com and Meetup.com. We experimented with coordinating local groups on our (now retired) forum. We even investigated a “Campers Near You” feature to our main site. Ultimately, we decided that the best solution was a tool that you’re probably already familiar with — Facebook!

我們考慮了Eventbrite.com和Meetup.com。 我們在我們(現已退休)的論壇上嘗試了協調本地團體的工作。 我們甚至調查了我們主站點的“您附近的Campers”功能。 最終，我們認為最好的解決方案是您可能已經熟悉的工具-Facebook！

Yes. Facebook. That baby photo sharing app that your parents use. That app that swallows up nearly a quarter of Americans’ time spent on the web.Well it turns out that Facebook has a really well-designed Groups functionality. It’s ideal for managing local groups.

是。 臉書 您的父母使用的那個嬰兒照片共享應用程序。 這個應用程序占用了美國人將近四分之一的時間在網絡上。事實證明，Facebook具有精心設計的網上論壇功能。 是管理本地組的理想選擇。

• It’s free
  免費
• It has easy-to-use event creation, member management, messaging and photo sharing
  它具有易于使用的事件創建，成員管理，消息傳遞和照片共享
• Almost everyone already has a Facebook account, so joining the group is as easy as clicking a button
  幾乎每個人都已經擁有一個Facebook帳戶，因此加入該組就像單擊一個按鈕一樣簡單

See for yourself. Join the Free Code Camp group in your city (or create one if it doesn’t exist yet) here.We look forward to lots of hugs and high fives in the coming weeks!

你自己看。 加入免費陣營碼組中的城市(或創建一個，如果不存在的話) 在這里 。我們期待著大量的擁抱和擊掌在未來幾周內！
