+At this meetup we watched a video on frontend development using Scala and
+scala.js recorded at this years Scaladays. The presenter [Otto
+Chrons](https://twitter.com/ochrons?lang=en) gave a humourous and inspiring
+talk on this topic and introduced us to his new UI framework
+[Suzaku](https://github.com/suzaku-io/suzaku). By the way he is looking for
+contributors to this project so if you are looking for an open source scala
+project to contribute to this would be a great one. 
+
+If you want to watch the video it can be found here:

+
+After the video we had discussions about scala.js and a few of the attendees
+went to the scala.js documentation and created a hello world program using it
+to get familiar with it. It was great fun and in future meetups we are thinking
+of doing more learning and coding activities to learn scala.js as a group.
+
+If anyone knows me personally they know that I am a big fan of vim as my text
+editor. So lately I have been doing 90% of my scala coding using vim and
+[ensime](http://ensime.org/). So I did a demo of how I have setup
+[neovim](https://neovim.io/) and how I use it. 
+
+For anyone who attended the meetup and is keen to have the same setup my
+dotfiles can be found here:

+
+It was great to see everyone who attended, hope to see more scala types at our
+next event:
