[ Because some SF Bay Area Rubyists and Railers don't hang out on
ba-rb (and why not?!?), I'm sending this reminder to all three
lists. As noted, I'd like RSVPs on this event, so that I can
tell the restaurant (about) how many folks to expect. -r
]

In the spirit of Bay Area Debian's "SHOTGUN RULES FOR BAD MEETINGS"
(http://bad.debian.net/shotgun_rules.txt), I am calling yet another
meeting of the Bay Area Ruby Beer & Pizza SIG. No program; just a
way for folks to get together and chat about Ruby, Rails, etc.

Note: Ruby appeals to a broad spectrum of programmers. Your dinner
companions may speak any of a variety of languages, including C++,
Perl, PHP, Python, Scheme, and Smalltalk. At the same time, they
may well be struggling to learn about Rails, Ruby, SQL, etc. So,
expect diversity...

At the last meeting, several folks brought laptops. Given that the
upcoming venue has free wifi, this seems even more appropriate! In
fact, the restaurant has promised to provide a power outlet near the
table, so if anyone can bring a largish LCD monitor, let me know!


Beer and Pizza SIG

RSVP: An RSVP would be appreciated, so that I can tell
the restaurant folks what to expect. OTOH, feel
free to just show up and look for a sign. :)

Parking: Unless there's a monster baseball game, parking should

the station, exit BART, enter MUNI, and catch the N (inbound).

The Monsters only play in Monster Park (formerly Candlestick ;) and
anyway SF is done with baseball for a while, so the transit-impaired
should have little difficulty.

Beer+Pizza+Ruby =~ Fun... I'll try to make it this time!

If the food is good, maybe we can design them a better web site (even I
could do better than that).

If the food is bad (really bad), we can take them up on their
recommendations of personal injury lawyers.
