If you've got a short topic you'd like to talk about, feel free to suggest it, or just come prepared to talk about it.

Regarding Johnson:

From the project (http://github.com/jbarnette/johnson/tree/master) description:
"Johnson wraps JavaScript in a loving Ruby embrace. It embeds the Mozilla SpiderMonkey JavaScript runtime as a C extension."
Steve is currently using it with RSpec to write tests for JavaScript I use in my Rails project.

After the meeting, several of us usually head to a local restaurant for food and post-meeting socializing.
