Speakers needed for August meetup

[Melissa Keizer]

Hey guys, we're holding our next meetup on Tuesday 5th August and we're in need of a speaker (or couple of speakers). Would anyone be interested in holding a short talk?

Melissa -

Is there a theme in mind?

Hi Sam, 

There's no particular theme, just as long as it's tied to Ruby in some way. It can be aimed at a more experienced audience or those newer to Ruby as well. 

Have a look at our list of past meetups on our website to see what's been done in the past: http://belfastruby.com/past-meetups/

Have you anything in mind?

We do a fair amount of work with Adhearsion (think Twilio) and would be happy giving people an impression of what it can do but it’s a huge subject. I don’t know if I could cover anything worthwhile in ~15 min though!

The other option is doing a quick intro into WebRTC & Websockets. At least that way there’s a tie in with Rails and most peoples’ experience.

Sam, both of your talk ideas sound great, I'm happy for you to do either one of them. 

I checked out Adhearsion and it looks really interesting. If you could cover the best bits of it in about 20 minutes (we don't like to make them any longer than that really) it could be a good option. 

Would you be up for speaking at the meetup in August? There's also a slot at September's meetup available if that's too soon. 

Let me know what you think,

Melissa

Sam, are you free to talk next week? (Tuesday 5th August)

Please let me know as soon as you can as I'll need to update the website with details of the meetup.
