Here's a worthy excuse to do a 'special' meetup in August. How about it? Been a while since we did anything more creative than go to dinner;-)

Sthg to chat about at our next meet?

Bit delayed reply to this, but I'm catching up on email now the week's over. I'd love to participate in this in some way. _why was an inspiration to me - and a large part of why I ended up liking and using ruby so much.

Hi All,

I need a mysql database wizard for a couple of months.

The task is to migrate a horribly structured (190 tables!) database to a clean, redesigned set of tables.

There is a lot of data and transformations involved.

For your reference, the initial migration took 16 days. And it only involved about half of the data. And it has to be re-done. About 10 times faster.

The new system is running rails, so rails knowledge is a must.

Lots of data transformation is needed, because the old data is not validated -- it won't create valid rails objects as of now.

Yeah, big job, but I think I can make it worth.

Send me an email if interested.

Hey Andras,

Sounds challenging & tedious, I'm interested in tackling this.

Cheers,
TY

Hi Ty,

Can you send me some references regarding what similar tasks you did before?

Then we should talk (this week sometimes) to discuss things a bit more in depth.
