  Cucumber with Leon Gersing - The Cleveland/North East Ohio Ruby Users Group

  Cleveland, United States

  It's time! The next CleRB meeting will be on Monday, November 30th. We'll be continuing from where we left off last time. Didn't come last time? Don't remember where we were? That's fine, stop by the Installfest table to get Ruby & Rails set up on your machine! We have a Rails app setup, but it doesn't do anything. This month we'll be starting our first features test-first using the automated acceptance testing tool Cucumber.

  Cooking with Chef: Your servers will thank you - The Vancouver Ruby/Rails/Merb Meetup Group

  Vancouver, Canada

  Talk Description: When you hear "sysadmin work", do you think of ssh, vi, and shell scripts? If you do, it's probably not the most fun sounding work. Repetitive, tedious, and error-prone are words that come to mind. Thankfully, configuring servers is all but a solved problem thanks to Chef. The days of vi, and shell scripts are mostly over. Building complex infrastructure has never been easier.

Dave will share his biggest lessons from this project. Most of the lessons are not technical, though Ruby and Rails certainly facilitated them.

  NJR November Meeting: Deploying with Vlad - Not Just Ruby

  Colorado Springs, United States

  We still need people to man (or woman) up and give a featured talk, both now and in the future. Remember, it doesn't need to be about Ruby, just tangentially related. [divider] Kevin McFadden (that's me) will be demonstrating how to deploy a Ruby on Rails application with Vlad the Deployer. Deploying an application can be a real hassle. For PHP, my methodology has been something like tar -cvf ~/deployable/project-yyyymmdd.tgz `"find -mtime -[days since last deploy] | grep -v [git|svn
