We had lots of new members out tonight, many of whom had come to hear or discuss a specific talk. Great to see so many people come out!
Next up, we’ve got a five minute recap of the big Ruby news from the past month. We focus on the big picture and only cover the big news stories. If you want to get regular news between meetups you should follow @yegrb on Twitter, and check our list of Ruby resources.
There’s nothing better than landing a sweet Ruby job. Every month we share the latest Ruby and related job announcements with our members. If you’re hiring Rubyists let us know!
After a short break for pizza, courtesy or Yardstick Software (thanks Don!), we moved on to the main part of each meetup, the lighting talks. We aim to have 2-3 of these. Each talk lasts 10-minutes with 5-minutes for questions afterwards.
Each month we challenge a local developer or company working with Ruby to demonstrate their project. The goal of this segment to to share the real applications being developed with Ruby in Edmonton. The project can be open or closed source, and companies are encouraged to demonstrate their products.
What talks would you like to see at our next meetup?
The best part of the night for many of our members is after the talks are done, when we head to RATT (map) for food and drinks. This month was no exception and Inkdit kindly supplied a round for the table. Thanks!
