Hi,

Just thought I'd introduce myself, I'm a freelance developer living and working in Winchester. Broad experience in all sorts of technologies from C, C++, C# and now working mainly with Ruby and Rails.

I'd be keen to attend a meetup, if they are still going?

Cheers,
Chris

Hey Chris,

I also live in Winchester but I work in London most days at the moment.

Maybe we could meet up for a beer one evening in town?

Cheers,
Mike

Hi Mike and Chris,

Welcome to the group!

There's a few people on the list in or around Winchester - if you did organise meeting for a beer, maybe you could mention it on the list?

We've been trying to have semi-regular weekly lunchtime meetups in Portswood on a Wednesday, but I think it would be great to organise another evening meeting.

I'm not precious about organising things, so if someone wants to suggest a place and time, then hopefully (Hampshire) rubyists can assemble!

Awesome. If we do Winchester we could do it in the Hyde Tavern as its a bit nearer to the train station than the pubs in town.. I'm easy though, as long as its somewhere with real ale! :)

Hyde Tavern in Winchester sounds good to me.

Hey Chris, there's only 2 of us confirmed available so far for Tuesday so maybe we could look at another day that suits better?

Hi All, 

It depends on times for me. After 8pm I could do, if it's evening?
Best regards

Really good to meet everyone last night, we should definitely do
something like that again asap.

It's a shame I can't make the Wednesday sessions at the moment, but
hoping to work from home more in the coming months so that should
change soon! On that note, if anyone comes across any opportunities
for a Ruby and JS freelancer around Hampshire please ping me! I'm also
really interested in exploring the cooperative model more, so feel
free to get in touch about that as well.

Hopefully see you all again soon!

Cheers,
M

oh, also - Richard, did you manage to actually ship the first
iteration of your book yet?! :)

Hi Mike, and all.

Really good to meet everyone last night, we should definitely do
something like that again asap.

+ 1 (I'd just logged in to send an email saying exactly that!!)

It's a shame I can't make the Wednesday sessions at the moment, but
hoping to work from home more in the coming months so that should
change soon!w
 
On that note, if anyone comes across any opportunities
for a Ruby and JS freelancer around Hampshire please ping me!

Freelance only? (We know of a perm position) 

I'm also really interested in exploring the cooperative model more, so feel
free to get in touch about that as well.

We're also interested to continue thinking about how this could work. :-)


Hopefully see you all again soon

Should we try and do this monthly? Set a fixed day? 
 
Cheers,
M

oh, also - Richard, did you manage to actually ship the first
iteration of your book yet?! :)


;-)

Best Regards
Spencer

Hey Spencer, I'm ok with either fixing a date or just doing it ad-hoc.
Whatever works best for everyone else.

On the work front, I'm only looking for freelance/contract stuff.

Cheers,
M

Hi Mike, and all.

Really good to meet everyone last night, we should definitely do
something like that again asap.

+ 1 (I'd just logged in to send an email saying exactly that!!)

Me too, always great to meet new rubyists, and I definitely think there's a growing community locally, and we should try and make the most of it.
 
It's a shame I can't make the Wednesday sessions at the moment, but
hoping to work from home more in the coming months so that should
change soon!

If you're ever around just pop down - I can't guarantee there's definitely going to be someone there, but there often is. We usually end up organising it via twitter, so perhaps I should get better at posting a reminder to the list every now and again.
  
On that note, if anyone comes across any opportunities
for a Ruby and JS freelancer around Hampshire please ping me!

Freelance only? (We know of a perm position) 

I'm also really interested in exploring the cooperative model more, so feel
free to get in touch about that as well.

We're also interested to continue thinking about how this could work. :-)

I've got a couple of ideas about how to make this work and it would be great to bounce those off some people.
 
Hopefully see you all again soon

Should we try and do this monthly? Set a fixed day? 

I'm happy for whatever the group want to do. I'd rather well attended and semi-regular than regular and poorly attended. Regular and well attended would be best though ;-)
 
Cheers,
M

oh, also - Richard, did you manage to actually ship the first
iteration of your book yet?! :)


;-)

UNPUBLISHED
 

Best Regards
Spencer

It was good to meet up again. Is your book out yet Rich? :-)

I'd be interested in any perm (non-London) roles anyone knows about.

Tris.
