Apology + Big, big (missed) thank yous!!

[Michael Prendergast]

Hi everyone,

At Wednesday's meetup, I totally forgot to thank the individuals without whom the meetup absolutely wouldn't have happened!! I made a mental note to do so before heading there, but totally forgot until on my way home. I'm terribly sorry about that everyone, my humblest apologies.

A super big, huge thank you to Kurtis Funai (@kurtfunai) from Fullscript, and Steve Lounsbury (@stevelounsbury) from Shopify, who have been working diligently behind the scenes for the weeks leading up to the recent meetups, and also live-and-in-person during the events to make sure everything went off without a hitch!

A giant, uber-sized thank you also goes out to the teams at Fullscript and Shopify, who have each also kindly volunteered their time to make sure everyone has everything they need before, during, and after each meetup -- in no particular order: 

• Patrick Vice (@patgvice), 
  
• Richard Powell (@byrichardpowell), 
  
• Lemuel Barango (@lemuelbarango), 
  
• Gary Mardell (@garymardell), 
  
• Celso Dantas (@celsodantas), 
  
• Sam Bostock (@sambostock),
  
  and to everyone else who has had a hand in helping with the meetups! 
  
  And again, to add them to the list:

• Kurtis Funai (@kurtfunai), and 
• Steve Lounsbury (@stevelounsbury)

Truly, none of these meetups could happen without you all; thank each and every one of you, so very much!

Thanks again to our speaker Lucas Uyezu (@coralton) for his great talk on Wednesday.

Thank you again to our sponsors Shopify and Fullscript.

And thank you all for coming out and for making the Ottawa Ruby community great! :)

Thanks again all! Have a great weekend,

Michael

P.S., Hopefully no one was missed in these lists. But if you were missed, know that we appreciate you greatly, and thank you in the same way!
