Meetup May/2013 - Open Space (Different Venue!)

[Stanly Lau]

Hi all,

This month's meet-up is next Monday (27 May) at a different venue than usual. We'll be at Credit Suisse's meeting room on level 23 in One Raffles Quay north tower.

Special thanks to Credit Suisse's Agile Special Interest Group sponsoring their space! =)

For more information and to register, please visit

Thanks,

Stanly

p.s. One Raffles Quay has higher security than usual =). They will check your identity to match the list I'll be providing them, so I'll be asking you for more details (e.g. IC number) when you register. You may not be able to get in if you are not in that list.

Too bad that nobody did the code for community this time :(

Huh? What do you mean by code for community, Bas? Did this topic come up in the past meetups? How did it turn out?

Hi SJ,

This is something we started last time at:
https://github.com/organizations/agilesingapore

The idea was that each meet-up, a group who was interested can pair up and build up the new AgileSingapore website based on what would be best and most useful for the community!

By building it, they could practice agile practices.

The topic did come up Bas between the two original participants myself and Janardhan (guessing the name, please correct if wrong).

In fact I've tried to setup the project in my laptop, unsuccessfully. I installed ruby, sinatra, cucumber and a few more gems I guess, as instructed by failure messages and Google search. As my next task I was thinking to add a few more failing tests.

I'm stuck the below errors when trying to run any of the .feature files using cucumber.

Hiya,

Late reply. Sorry.

Yup :) So, we'll just need a larger group of people and do it more often!

Ok. Do you use rvm? It should have been installed..

Oki, additional task will be to make a proper Gemfile :)
