Melbourne May Meet-up

[Justin French]

Folks,

I've volunteered to organise the next Melbourne Ruby meet.

For a change of pace, I'd like to get lots of people presenting
lightning talks. I'd like to nominate the theme "I Learned Some
Stuff".

Rails has been around for nearly a decade (2004?). Most of us have
been working with Ruby, web applications and web technologies even
longer. Some of us first ran the `rails` command many years ago, and
have had Rails apps in production for five or more years. We've
learned a lot. We've seen some stuff. Made a mistake or two for sure.

What advice would you love to give yourself 3–5 years ago on that
green fields project? What can you share with people getting started
today that will have a huge impact on their business? What do you
assume we've all figured out (but could tell us anyway, just to make
sure)?

Rails and Ruby brought us together, but I think anything related to
web apps, web technology, great software and good business should be
in scope.

I'm hoping for twenty or more 1–3 minute lightning talks, so I'm
counting on many of you to be "in". Some of you won't be able to
attend for various reasons (out of state, out of country, out of
whiskey, etc). Please consider recording something in advance (audio,
video, interpretive dance) that I can play on the night.

Steps to take right now:
Hit "reply all" and say "I'm in!"

I'll gauge interest, then figure out the rest of the details. Please
don't be lazy and make me beg ;)

If you had a bigger topic you were interested in talking about as
well, let me know!

Justin

Does it have to be rails-specific? I'd like to share some dev productivity protips.

Is it planned for the 24th or the 31st, Justin?

I'd planned to do a 20 minute talk + discussion last month on improving Ruby / Python / Node.JS packaging on Debian, Ubuntu and CentOS but couldn't get the prototype together quickly enough. I'd like to do it this month, if there's time.

Hi Michael,

I dropped the ball on this one a bit!

Are you planning on talking still? What's the title?

Yep. probably only 15 minutes or so. It's on packaging ruby for Ubuntu and testing it on many targets.

[Michael Pearson]

Okay. I should not be allowed to make plans.

I will no longer be able to attend RORO tonight - apologies, Justin. Hopefully I'll be able to post what I'm working on to the list soon, instead.

Have a good night all.
