[MEET] October Meetup

[Swanand Pagnis]

Hi all,

We're looking for speakers for the October meetup. Does anyone want to talk about 

- Anything interesting they did

- Anything new they learned

- Something old and forgotten

- Anything geeky and remotely related to the Ruby ecosystem

- Anything geeky and not related to the Ruby ecosystem, but is of interest to the attendees

Let's hear from you!

Here's the RSVP link, but it lacks a host and location.  So, who wants to host it this time?

Codemancers can do it. But if anyone else wants to, we have no issues.

Great, let's give it a few days if someone new wants to host it, but otherwise we'll meet at Codemancers.

[Nishit Hirani]

Hi all,

KeepWorks would like to host months meetup if the slot is still open.

I've been working on something that should be interesting to many web developers.

Please see https://tomelam.github.io/zen/ . Live demos are at https://tomelam.github.io/zen/experiments/ .

I'd like to get some feedback and wouldn't be too shy to give a talk.

Thanks KeepWorks for offering to host the meetup!

Hi Nishit,

I've added you as an organiser to the meetup event, and updated the address.

Can you please:

1. Check the address and map marker, and correct if needed
   
2. Update the "How to find us" section to help people find the place. Just a map is not usually enough.

Thanks,

Swanand

I forgot to highlight the most important part: https://tomelam.github.io/zen/docs/whitepaper/ .

I would also like to demonstrate a simple, sequential, in-browser program I wrote that uses continuations underneath to make event-driven programming unnecessary even for complex user interactions. (Think of the complexity of angjular, backbone, react, etc.!) It actually adds operating system constructs like "wait" or "getchar". I will try to put together a demo of this code, but I'm having trouble remembering how I got it to work. (It's exciting, though. I promise!)

There is more background to the white paper and demos: my old project zen-rails, now moved to https://github.com/tomelam/zen-rails-old, which is badly broken due to its requirements not being updated over the last 5 years along with the Rails ecosystem. The most interesting part of zen-rails-old, for Rubyists, is probably the part of it that clones complicated web pages, complete with CSS (if a version with the versions of Ruby, Rails, RVM, gems can be found and used together). I won't be ready to talk much about zen-rails-old on 15 September.

Thanks Tom, this would be an interesting talk. 

[Thomas Elam]

Hi, Swanand!

Which part(s) do you like or want me to speak on?

1. The DMI GUIs,
2. the white paper, or
3. the sequential programming of user interaction?

When & how will I know I've been selected as a speaker? I'd think 15-30 minutes for each of the 3 parts would be about right. I will practice in front of QuickTime on my iMac to test & adjust my content & delivery.

I'd say we should keep Q&A for each part down to 5 minutes; I'll be available for extended Q&A after the meeting has formally ended.

The white paper gets into a lot of different areas, so I'm not sure which parts would be appropriate, but here are some ideas:

1. Smalltalk and Self, which inspired Ruby and JavaScript. I would just talk for 4 or 5 minutes on the idea of editing live code & the principle advantage of prototypical inheritance.
2. Lively Kernel, a Smalltalk-like environment running in the browser. I would run a brief demo of editing live code. Since writing about Lively Kernel in my white paper, I learned that there is another, possibly more interesting, approach to visual programming in the browser: Snap!.
3. The Morphic.js graphics system or GUI, which uses a

I would be greatly interested in continuations and the sequential programming using them. In the last Mysore ruby meet, we spoke briefly about it.

15-30 minutes for each talk would stretch it to a potential 90 minutes, which is too much for one single meetup. I think we can focus on 1 talk this time, you can select whichever talk you like the most!

[Thomas Elam]

Swanand and all,

I wrongly thought he was talking about a Mysore RUG meeting. (Second time I've made that mistake.) Sorry. I only hope I can give the talk in Mysore, unless maybe someone offers to put me up in Bangalore for a night or two. I might even like to give the talk(s) in each city if people say it's good enough.

I am only beginning to study Morphic, so I can't even complete a sentence about ... . 😉

So we have at least 1 talk lined up, on WebRTC by Dhruva.

Does anyone else want to give a talk / show notes / anything?
