This month, we're doing a bunch of shorter "lightning talks" instead of two full-length presentations.

Our meetings are open to all experience levels, from total novices to expert Rubyists.

Current agenda:

  • "Using Ruby with R" by Sean Marcia
  • "Multi-Lingual Applications in Rails" by Oğuz Demirkapı
  • "Tests On the Cloud With Fog and Hydra" by Dan Hensgen
  • "Use Ruby to Learn Lisp" by Troy Stribling
  • "Batch Processing in Ruby" by Albert Law

We now meet monthly at Logik headquaters, located on the 3rd floor at 709 G Street NW, Washington, DC 20001. The closest Metro stop is Gallery Place / Chinatown (Red line).

We also need presenters for future meetups, so if you have a topic or project on which you'd like to do a 20-30 minute presentation on anything Ruby-related, Rails-related or possibly of interest to Ruby developers, please email me at josephgrossberg at gmail.com and we'll schedule you to speak. If have presented before, you are welcome to give a presentation on a new topic. This is a great chance for some of you guys and gals lingering in the back of the room to share some of the cool things you are working on. Don't be shy -- you're among fellow geeks. :)

As always, we'll have an ample supply of free pizza and soda for all attendees, so don't worry about eating dinner beforehand.

And we'll be heading around the corner to Rocket Bar for a beer or two after the meeting, to unwind and socialize with fellow techies.
