Hi Guys,

 Its time we decided to host Pune Rails Meetup #3. How does 10th April (Saturday) @ 4pm seems to be a good date.  Its been since December that we have not been active!

Topics and Speakers? Some ideas were:

- Introduction to Rails 3

- Ruby Meta Programing.

- A hack-fest (but we need computers for this and teams)

- A showdown like last time.

We can organize again at TW (if its available) or at SICSR, which ever is convenient. Both have decent restaurants around where we can 'socialize' ;) 

Regards,

Gautam

Hey,

sorry for the silence.

I think you're spot on there with the topics list - in any case, that we can refine as we go along.

April 10 sounds good for me.

Do you want to just make a public announcement then? u have access to the twitter, facebook and meetup pages, right?

I'd volunteer to moderate, showdown is always interesting. I guess if we can pre-announce some of the topics (like favourite authentication plugin, error notification, whatever), then some people can come prepared.

Do we generally expect a more technical audience this time? or the other way round? That would kind of affect the hackfest, I think.

For hackfest, do we have enough time to do it in a rails meetup? I would suggest, let's have another meetup without hackfest to further gague the audience, and then do a hackfest only event some time. that should be an all day event, I would guess, to make sure that there's enough time to .... hack... I mean, program!

Btw - given that there's ruby conf, I would suggest that you also give a session on 'my experiences from ruby conf' :-) - unless everyone would have gone to rubyconf!

Cool! 

Yes, lets make a public announcement asap. We can decide the speakers over time.

By popular demand, TW is then decided as the venue for PRM#3

Anthony,

 I dont have twitter id for Pune Rails meetup. Also give me the permission to post on the FB page ! And if you were not taunting me about my talks on 'experiences' ;) I would rather give a talk on Scottish Ruby Conference that Satish Talim and I are attending in March end. Having said that, I also plan to tweet live from #scotruby, so that should be fun.

Aman,

 Could you please confirm Pune Rails Meetup at TW on 10th April @ 4pm.

I too feel, that we should have a showndown like last time instead of a HackFest - Once we know the number of ppl interested in a HackFest (we can take a show of hands - hell! maybe we may have to even explain what is a hackfest!)

Regards,

Gautam
