Subject: [Boulder Ruby Group] BRG - November Meeting - Nov 16th
Message-ID: <57f29e620911032126h3de4f878gfa733d26ce49f553@mail.gmail.com>

We're moving our meeting from the third Wednesday to the Monday before
that, November 16th at 7pm.  Several members, including myself, will
be out of town for RubyConf on Wednesday night.  We'll still be
meeting in Collective Intellect's space (it's upstairs now).  Joshua
Timberman will present Chef 101, an introduction to Chef. He will
cover what Chef is, what itches it can scratch for Ruby developers and
businesses. Most of this talk takes a high level overview of Chef?s
features and how they work. Finally, he will show a modest example and
give some tips on workflow.

Cheers,

Here's the reminder email for Monday's Boulder Ruby meeting.  We'll be
meeting two days earlier due to RubyConf.  Join us 7pm on Monday the
16th at Collective Intellect's space, directions below.  Joshua
Timberman will present Chef 101, an introduction to Chef. He will
cover what Chef is, what itches it can scratch for Ruby developers and
businesses. Most of this talk takes a high level overview of Chef?s
features and how they work. Finally, he will show a modest example and
give some tips on workflow.  Also, I finally got some more books to
give away at the meeting from Manning and O'Reilly.  We'll have our
usual networking and snacks before hand.  Afterwards, you're welcome
to join some of the group for drinks and socializing.

I do want to mention a couple things about the publishers.  For
Manning, you can get a 36% discount off books at www.manning.com.  Use
this code: UG367.  You can also get free copies of books if you agree
to post a review about it.  If you're interested I can hook you up
with the details.  Just email me offlist.  O'Reilly has pretty much
the same program.  35% discount off their online stores, use code
DSUG.  If you want to review any of the O'Reilly books, let me know as
I can get a copy for you.  O'Reilly is also letting you try out the
new version of Safari Books Online for 10 days free.  The offer ends
Nov 24th.  Here's the link if interested:

Anyway, I look forward to seeing all of you who can make it out Monday
night.  I don't think the snow will be too bad by then.  I'll post a
same day tweet from our group twitter account, @boulderruby.

Cheers,
