We'll have our monthly meeting on the 18th at 6:45pm at Everlater/Pivotal Labs (directions below). I will give my RubyConf talk, ?Ruby Community: Awesome; Could be Awesomer?. I need to shorten the talk to 25 minutes for Ruby Midwest in early November. I'll be looking for your feedback on what is most relevant to you. The talk will be useful for our group as well as I'll want to explore ways we can make things even better in Boulder. I appreciate your support and feedback! Following that Tyler Montgomery will give a State of Authentication presentation. Auth is a pain that many of us haven?t found great solutions for. See what Tyler?s take on it is. The doors 'open' at 6:45pm and we should have a lovely selection of food and beverages while we network. I'll even bring a book to giveaway. It should be a great meeting so I hope to see you all there. http://boulderruby.org/meetings/2011/09/19/october-2011/ Cheers, Marty Haught http://boulderruby.org Directions: Everlater/Pivotal Labs 1701 Pearl St Boulder, CO 80302 Use the 17th St entrance closer to the alley on the NE side of the intersection.

There's not a lot of time between now and Nov 12th but I wanted you to read this over and ponder it before next week's meeting. We can talk about what we'd like to try and coordinate. Cheers, Marty ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Mike Moore Date: Thu, Oct 13, 2011 at 5:22 PM Subject: [reg-rubyconf-orgz] RubyDay I quietly announced RubyDay on teh twitterz this afternoon. My plan is simple; a low key unconference/open space for folks in my area to get together and chat about Ruby. If we can get some sponsors to pay for food, great. If not, no big deal. My goal is to keep it free, but I may charge a small registration fee if we think too many folks will show up. But, I have plans. Oh, so many plans. What about all of you that don't live in the Rocky Mountain region of these glorious United States? What then? Well, I'd love to be able to stream the proceedings to you online. (See previous comment about sponsors.) But, wouldn't it be better if there was an event close to you where you could meet with your local folks? I think so. So I'm putting the word out. We can turn this simple local event into a worldwide movement. You too can put on a one day unconference. No need for speakers or fancy marketing plans. This is a call to action! Hit me up on IRC and we'll make magic happen. http://rubyday.org/ irc://freenode.net/rubyday From mghaught at gmail.com Wed Oct 19 16:44:19 2011 From: mghaught at gmail.com (Marty Haught) Date: Wed, 19 Oct 2011 14:44:19 -0600 Subject: [Boulder Ruby Group] BRG - October Meeting - Oct 18th In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: Here are my slides from last night's meeting: http://speakerdeck.com/u/mghaught/p/ruby-community-awesome-could-be-awesomer Cheers, Marty From ndh at baroquebobcat.com Fri Oct 21 16:20:17 2011 From: ndh at baroquebobcat.com (Nick Howard) Date: Fri, 21 Oct 2011 14:20:17 -0600 Subject: [Boulder Ruby Group] Rails BugMash Oct 29th (Next Saturday) Message-ID: We're having another Rails BugMash next Saturday at the Gnip offices in Boulder.
