I'll be speaking at the first [BarcelonaJS](http://barcelonajs.org/ "BarcelonaJS") meetup on January 30th in [MOB](http://www.mob-barcelona.com/ "MOB"), [Barcelona](http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=41.3833333333,2.18333333333&spn=0.1,0.1&q=41.3833333333,2.18333333333 (Barcelona)&t=h "Barcelona").

I'll be presenting [node-fs][1] and talking about my experience trying to fix the common problem of recursive directory creation, failing to get it accepted into the core of [node.js](http://nodejs.org/ "node.js"), and planned features for node-fs.

Other speakers include [Pablo Casado](http://twitter.com/hardlifeofapo "Pablo Casado"), who will be talking about how to start with node.js, and also [Jordi Romero](http://twitter.com/jordiromero "Jordi Romero"), discussing a hybrid solution that leverages node.js and [Rails](http://rubyonrails.org/ "Ruby on Rails").

BarcelonaJS is a monthly meetup started and being organized by [Patrick Heneise](https://twitter.com/PatrickHeneise "Patrick Heneise").
