Our January meeting will be this Wednesday, the 16th, at 6:30pm (directions below). Our meeting will focus on Radiant, a simple, yet extensible open source content management system designed for small teams written in Ruby on Rails. www.radiantcms.org. Loren Johnson and Sean Cribbs, both core members of the Radiant team, will kick off the meeting with an overview of Radiant. I will offer the second talk discussing the development of extensions for Radiant, which can be thought of mini-Rails apps embedded into Radiant. We'll get started at our usual 6:30 time and have a mingling block between talks. Hope to see you all there. Cheers, Marty Haught http://boulderruby.org Directions: Collective Intellect 1601 Pearl St, Suite 200 Boulder, CO 80302 The office is above the restaurants Aji & Leaf.

Here's the ruby-talk announcement: ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Tony Arcieri Date: Jan 21, 2008 12:13 AM Subject: Announcing Revactor: an Actor model implementation for Ruby 1.9 To: ruby-talk ML I'm pleased to announce the initial public availability of Revactor, an Actor framework for Ruby 1.9. The Actor model has seen increasing popularity in languages like Erlang and Scala. Revactor adds asynchronous message passing to the Fibers mechanism, easing the development of concurrent programs using them. You can read more about the Actor model here: http://revactor.org/philosophy/ Revactor also includes a high performance sockets API, largely compatible with Ruby's own, but which also seamlessly interoperate with the Actor API. Using this approach means you can simultaneously process messages from both sockets and other Actors. Furthermore, with a small amount of monkeypatching it's able to run Mongrel, using Actors instead of threads as the underlying concurrency mechanism. Initial tests of the performance of Mongrel on top of Revactor surpass the threaded version. Revactor is available as a gem and can be installed with: *gem install revactor* For additional information please see the web site: http://revactor.org -- Tony Arcieri ClickCaster, Inc. tony at clickcaster.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I look forward to checking this out. It's a good reason to check out 1.9 in more depth.
