[ANN] North Bay Ruby Users Group Formed
Keith Fahlgren
San Francisco (or who like to go to Sebastopol, CA): the [1]North
Bay Ruby Users Group with a first meeting on February 15th, 2007
at 7:30pm. O'Reilly has graciously offered us their meeting space,
so we'll be holding the meetings at the office in [2]Sebastopol,
CA ([3]directions). The initial schedule for meetings is the third
Thursday of each month, but we can have a discussion about whether
other times work better at the first meeting. If you're interested
in learning more, please sign up for the [4]mailing list.
[Full disclosure: Both [5]Rob Orsini (the author of the recently
released [6]Rails Cookbook) and I are both employees of O'Reilly
Media, so I can't pretend that holding the meetings here was a
total accident.]
The agenda, as well as everything else, for the first meeting is
still in flux, but Rob and I are planning to do a presentation on
how O'Reilly uses Ruby internally, from small internal Rails sites
to Atom Publishing Protocol libraries to XML processing. We can
spend the rest of the time getting to know each other, eating
pizza, and planning upcoming meetings. If you'd like to make a
presentation at a future meeting or know someone who should,
please join the mailing list and make suggestions (even if you
can't make it every month).
Looking forward to seeing you there!
PS: Yeah, the [7]website is pretty crappy right now, we'll be
making it more useful in the coming days, adding a wiki and all
that. For now, just be happy it isn't [8]this.

Some of these pages fall out of date and then get updated suddenly due
to the high work load of the web masters in the current economy.

Sorry, this was the time that worked for the most people we talked to
(not that we've exhausted that group). We can certainly discuss better
times at the first meeting.

I'm pleased to announce a new Ruby Users Group for folks north of
San
Francisco (or who like to go to Sebastopol, CA): the North Bay Ruby
Users
Group.
Our first meeting is this week; February 15th, 2007 at 7:00pm.
O'Reilly
has graciously offered us a place to meet, so we'll be holding the
meetings at O'Reilly HQ in [1]Sebastopol, CA ([2]directions).
Meetings are on the third Thursday of each month. If you're
interested in
learning more, please sign up for the [3]mailing list.
Our first meeting will feature [4]Rob Orsini and [5]myself, kicking
things
off by discussing how O'Reilly uses Ruby to make good things
happen.
Please RSVP on the mailing list so we know how much pizza to buy.
We hope
to seeing you there!
Keith
