For those that missed our last meetup, we did a brainstorming session with the goal of finding topics that are in the cross-section of "interesting" and "can be presented from people in the group".

Here is the outcome:

Title	Votes	People with experience to present
Design patterns & best practices	10	Antonis ?, Jason Gavriilidis
Docker in production	10	Aristotelis Xristou
SciRuby	10	John Pagonis
Functional programming	9
Metaprogramming	9	Jason Gavriilidis, Kyriakos Kentzoglanakis
Domain specific case studies	6	John Pagonis
Services & APIs	5	John Filippas, Aristotelis Xristou, Lazarus Lazaridis
Scalability & resilience	3	Kyriakos Kentzoglanakis
RVM internals	2
Refactoring & best practices	1	Antonis ?
Code smells	1	Kyriakos Kentzoglanakis
NLP	1	John Pagonis

We will use this list as a compass for the next meetups and I highly suggest people with some experience on the topics mentioned above to submit proposals for presentations. Apart from this, I'm not sure whether there is a benefit in continuing the discussion here. In my mind we should either re-do this once in a while during meetups or setup a more structured online way of doing it.

Some additional topics for upcoming meetups:

1) Rooting trees/url traversal as alternatives to traditional MVC frameworks (e.g. Cuba/Roda)

2) Deviating from the "rails way". Ways to organize code for growing projects (e.g. "slimming" fat models to form models/query objects etc) to manage projects with growing codebase more easily.

Good additions me thinks!

One of my ideas for the next meetup is form models/objects. I can prepare a presentation, if you like. I have used Reform, Virtus and also ActiveModel.
