Merb hackfest on Tuesday

[Dan Croak]

Hey all,

We're going to create a small Merb app at Tuesday night's hackfest.
It's purpose is to facilitate Boston Rubyists getting together to
practice our craft in small numbers, termed a "Code Kata" by author of
The Pickaxe, Dave Thomas (http://codekata.pragprog.com/).

We'll be using Merb with ActiveRecord and erb. Jeremy Durham is
generously providing hosting. We're starting with a schema of:

users
- id
- name
- email

katas
- id
- subject ("Looking for help on TDD")
- description
- meeting_type (Skype, phone, in-person)
- start_at
- address_id
- kata_id

attendees
- user_id
- kata_id

addresses
- id
- name ("Starbucks on Boylston")
- full_address
- directions

Read up on Merb at http://www.rubyinside.com/merb-tutorials-and-resources-716.html
and see you Tuesday night at the usual place and time!

7-9pm

The hosting is provided by EngineYard, but Jeremy has been good enough
to setup git on this slice.

Looking forward to the Hackfest and the Kata.

Thanks,
Tom
