So, we were just kidding about working on the recommendable plugin. We
actually worked on the bostonrb.org website some more.

The crew tonight was:
 * Dan Croak (http://dancroak.com)
 * Wyatt Greene
 * Brian Underwood
 * Josh Nichols (http://technicalpickles.com)
 * Steve Morss

The significant things we worked on were:

 * Projects have descriptions now
 * Events now have a location
 * Reorganized events page
  * left side has all upcoming events
  * center has next event with google map
  * right side has nothing now, but we're thinking to put a calendar
type view

Some articles, resources, that came up while hacking away
 * Jay Field's Blog (http://blog.jayfields.com/)
 * Software Development Lessons Learned from Poker (http://
www.infoq.com/articles/fields-it-depends)
 * Dave Thomas's post about Shoulda (http://
pragdave.blogs.pragprog.com/pragdave/2008/04/shoulda-used-th.html)
 * Thoughtbot's post about string quoting (http://
giantrobots.thoughtbot.com/2008/4/1/using-ruby-strings-correctly)
 * Dirt simple .rcss templates (http://blog.hasmanythrough.com/
2006/3/23/dirt-simple-rcss-templates)
 * haml and sass (http://haml.hamptoncatlin.com/)
 * YM4R/GM, Google Maps helper for Rails (http://
agilewebdevelopment.com/plugins/ym4r_gm)
 * Geokit, Geocoding plugin (http://geokit.rubyforge.org/)
 * Difference between && and and (http://www.pjhyett.com/posts/201-
using-or-and-in-ruby)

The fruits of our labor have been pushed to http://bostonrb.org, and
the source can be found at https://svn.thoughtbot.com/hackfest/boston_rb

Josh,
Thanks for the great summary and for pushing all the changes out to the
public Subversion site.  Lots of good things to look at.

Steve
