I've been a bit behind doing Boulder Ruby planning but I'm catching up. Our next meeting is scheduled for January 20th at 7pm. I only have a talk lined up for February so this month's meeting is open. Anyone interested in presenting on something in the Ruby space for this month? Also, be thinking about March and beyond. Email me offlist if you're game. I'll update the website with the meeting details once they're finalized as well as send out the usual meeting reminder a few days before with the scoop.

This month's topic will be on NOSQL data stores, primarily MongoDB and Tokyo Tyrant. I'll still send out the reminder email next week with all the details. Check out the website in the meantime. http://boulderruby.org/meetings/2010/01/07/january-2010/ Cheers, Marty From mghaught at gmail.com Mon Jan 18 18:10:37 2010 From: mghaught at gmail.com (Marty Haught) Date: Mon, 18 Jan 2010 16:10:37 -0700 Subject: [Boulder Ruby Group] BRG - January Meeting Reminder - Jan 19th Message-ID: <57f29e621001181510l381afe2fo647c430ec63e554e@mail.gmail.com> We're just a day away from January's Boulder Ruby meeting. It'll be held this Tuesday the 19th at 7pm (in Collective Intellect's space - directions below). The meeting is a bit more informal centering around NOSQL data stores. Primarily will be talking about MongoDB and Tokyo Cabinet/Tyrant. Several members will be going over these systems, how we talk to them with Ruby and sharing lessons learned. This isn't meant to be an exhaustive tutorial on these systems as that would take too much time and you could easily Google for such information on your own. Any of you who have used these or other similar stores are welcome to come and share with the group. The meeting will fall our usual format of networking, going through the various systems with many opting for some socializing afterwards. Cheers, Marty Haught http://boulderruby.org Directions: Collective Intellect 1433 Pearl St, Suite 200 Boulder, CO 80302 The office is behind and above Starbucks on Pearl. The entrance is on Pearl Street just east of Starbucks, behind the statue of the wolf. Come straight through all the doors. We meet on the second floor so take the elevator or if the doors are open, the stairway inside Collective Intellect.

I'm a developer with 15 years experience, but don't have the time to learn everything about the Ruby/Gems/Rails environment just to get it working. And I wouldn't send this message if it wasn't urgent; I've been going round and round for a couple of weeks trying to the mysql gem 2.8.1 to work with on the iMac Snow Leopard -- to no avail. This appears to be a well known bug in the community, and has given major headache to many. For a quick synopsis of this issue, an excellent thread is posted at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/991708/rails-mysql-and-snow-leopard Though I am trying all the suggestions mentioned there, I am no closer to getting this to work. I am using the example shown on the Apple Developer page http://developer.apple.com/tools/rubyonrails.html as a demo project, but am currently stuck at the step: rake db: migrate I really wanted to make it to your meeting this past Tuesday night, but only learned of it that day, and had too many other commitments to come. But if there are any iMac ROR gurus out there who are willing to make contact, please let me know.
