Hi all,

Received this from Simon Jenner, who heads-up helping entrepreneurs and startups at Birmingham Science Park Aston.

Please take a look, and if it's something you are interested in, mention it at the meetup tomorrow or on this list. Looks fun. A Ruby team?

Kind regards,

-Karl

Karl,

 

Please could you promote this event to your members – We need lots of good techy people to help the teams produce a web app business in 48hrs (it’s like a hackathon with a business twist)

 

Thanks

Simon
