A few days ago I put together a simple site with a list of DevOps conferences and some sorting buttons http://www.gotodevops.org/. I've overwhelmed by the positive feedback I received and contribution on GitHub from many people.

Now, I'd like to improve the website and make it even more useful for people who are searching for conferences. Current list of features to add:

- searchable list of speakers and presentations

- indicate if the conference will record / stream the presentations

- what weather can you expect during the conference

- rating / experience from the past visitors

What else do you look for when choosing which conference to attend?

Any tips you could share on how do you come up with a product name? Do you validate the name with your friends / potential customers or do you just go with the first thing that comes to your mind? I'm thinking that having a good name is quite important but is it worth spending too much time on?

I started to work on a job board to improve my Node.js / MongoDB skills and I'm thinking of actually launching it. But how do I make my board different from all others? I'm thinking of having a mandatory salary field so that each job would contain a salary range.

Stack Overflow data shows that job ads with salary receive 75% more clicks. https://stackoverflow.blog/2016/07/salary-transparency/#75. Other job sites are reporting 20% - 30% increase in job applications for ads with salaries.

I have a 6 year old daughter and she'd like to get her own computer. She has her own bedroom so if I don't set any rules I think she'd be spending a lot of time with the computer in her own room.

I'd really like to buy her a computer. What I'm concerned about is that sooner or later she'd come across the sites that could be harmful for her.

I don't think using web filters is the right way to go and I obviously can't spend all the time with her in her room.

Those of you who are parents, how do you handle that? Do you limit the time kids can spend on the internet? Do you restrict the computer usage to a common living area where you can follow what's going on?
