Dan Gebhardt's Future of Data in Ember

@dgeb is apparently working on a large git-inspired approach to organization data and io in javascript, he calls the project [orbit.js|http://orbitjs.com/] and this project meets its first user case in ember-data.

Here's how this could be applicable to us:

• Potentially supports graphql
• Ships with things like batching, versioning, caching, and queueing
• We should probably keep an eye out on his progress as eventually his library may solve a large cadre of problems that we have leftover from our graphql upstream

Marie Chatfield's Ember Events

Marie Chatfield went over a deep dive on DOM events in Ember. Here's the big takeaway:

Don't attach DOM-element listeners:

<button onclick={{action 'myAction'}}>
  blah
</button>

and instead use Ember ones:

<button {{action 'myAction' on='click'}}>
  blah
</button>
