Next meeting: 6:30pm Tuesday, 3rd July 2007

Hi Everyone,

Looks like we have the Rails ball rolling again. Yay for us! The next meeting will be

at 6:30pm on Tuesday, 3rd July 2007 at ProjectX HQ (http://zoomin.co.nz/nz/wellington/wellington+central/johnston+street/12/-projectx+technology+ltd/)

We will talk about whatever we want because we can but the following topics have been suggested recently:

* RoR IDEs

* Micro Show and tell - some cool code/app you've written, 5 minutes on why a tiny piece of it is extra cool.

* A tour through some rails code

* Rails plugins

We have a large projection screen but no projector so if someone could bring one along that would be great. I'm looking forward to seeing you all here and to another stimulating discussion.

cheers,

You may wish to discuss whether you would like a meetup.com group - I'm
happy to set it up (as I have done for the Auckland Ruby & Java groups,
even tho I don't actually organise the Auckland Java group) and then
delegate organisation to you guys (so you don't have to pay for the
subscription).

Richard
