Yes we will.  This was the reason it took a little while to get 
permission.  We had to figure out logistics. 

I will ensure there are enough connections available (so it doesn't turn 
into Ruby Con all over again :-).

Joe,

Just to be clear, when you say "We will have internet" as the meeting, 
does that mean "We will have an open wireless access point?"

Thanks,

Hello Rubylist,

Last nights meeting was really fun, lots of good information, and lots
of good meeting-up.  If you haven't had your fill of user group
meetings this week, here's an invitation to Thursday's Python meeting.

Hope to see you there,
Chris

November topics are "Remote, Generic and Random", just like us.

We'll have presentations on PyRO (Python Remote Objects) by Fawad
Halim, generic functions (as implemented in RuleDispatch) by Ian
Bicking, and the standard library random module by Robert Ramsdell.

There will also be time to chat, and many opportunities to ask
questions. We encourage people at all levels to attend.

We'll be meeting at 7 PM, Thursday November 10, in downtown Chicago at
Performics 180 N. Lasalle 12th floor.  RSVP is necessary for building
security, email chris.mcavoy at gmail.com with a subject of "RSVP for
ChiPy" to be added to the list.  If you aren't sure if you can come,
email just in case.

About ChiPy (http://chipy.org):

ChiPy meets on the second Thursday of each month, at different
locations around Chicagoland.  If you are interested in goings-on,

Howdy folks!

Thanks for the great turnout on the last meeting! It is awesome to see 
this kind of interest developing for Ruby right here in Chicago.

In our last meeting we discussed a the schedule for the next couple of 
months. Here's what we came up with for presentations:

December 5th
* Ruby Basics -- Chris McAvoy
* Modules -- Desi McAdam (Kent Spillner backup)

January
* Testing in Rails -- Marcel Molina
* Test/Unit -- Joe O'Brien

February
* Enterprise Service Oriented Architecture -- Joe O'Brien
*

Any corrections?

As you can see February is still in need of another presenter. Anyone 
want to volunteer? Also, Joe, you were going to try and get Jim Weirich 
lined up for a talk on Continuations and/or DSL. Any news on that front?

Ruby Basics
* Ruby Gems
* RDoc
* Blocks
* Idioms
* Meta-programing (Domain Specific Languages)
* Modules

Core-Lib
* HTTP/open_uri
* XML/REXML
* Drb

What other topics should we throw into the hopper?

The date has finally come through for the Rails/Django meetup. Be sure 
to reserve December 3rd on your calendar.

Chris McAvoy is working hard to reserve a room over at Depaul for this 
event and we are hoping have almost 100 people. The time and meeting 
agenda has not been finalized, but David Heinemeier Hansson (the creator 
of Rails) and Adrian Holovaty (the creator of Django) will both be 
there. We will probably have some presentations, questions and answers, 
and a little friendly debate.

Stay tuned for more details...

I'd like to learn more about how the Rails team thinks Rails should
and should not be extended/plugged-in/developed, since that's rapidly
becoming an issue in play as Rails gets adopted more broadly.

If the Feb. slot is still open, I'd like to present about my
experiences introducing Ruby to my shop. Already (since September)
there've been a lot of interesting lessons learned, and by then there
will be many more.

Wait!  Before you register anything, please talk to Daniel Delapava 
about chiruby.org.

We registered this back in June, when the now-moribund north side Ruby 
group was trying to get going.  Daniel had it pointed at a minimal page 
for a little while, but since the rest of us skipped town later in the 
summer, he has since parked it.

Daniel's at daniel dot delapava at gmail dot com, and I _think_ he's 
also subscribed to this list (Daniel?).

Sorry not to have let you guys know about this before now.

Best,

Brian

Hi Daniel,

We were looking for a domain name for the (finally emerging) Chicago
Ruby group, and Brian Young stopped us to let us know you'd already
registered chiruby.org.

Could we use that domain?

Hi All,

Sure, the chiruby.org domain was registered to be used and shared :-) 

Is someone willing to host the website? At some point Chris Mcavoy 
offered to host it. Is that offer still open, Chris?

I have a way to host it for free, if the number of people logging in

Sorry, I cut down on all my hosting gigs.  I don't have a good server

I don't think this website will need that much resources ... you can

no need.  I just spoke to Jason.  TextDrive is going to help us out.  I'll 
get details and pass them along. 

Stay tuned.

This is way out of control. ;-)

A couple of months ago we were essentially two guys out in the burbs,
and now suddenly we've got ThoughtWorks, 37signals, and TextDrive
representing. Maybe we can reel in some of the gentle folks at Object
Mentor once in a while, or other folks from ChAD (Chicago agile
group). Having photos of meetings up somewhere would help encourage
people to come -- if we don't have any photos from the last meeting we
should be sure to get some at the next.

Is there any mutual code-writing slated for any upcoming meeting? I
imagine it would be a lot of fun to bounce some code around with so
many people in real time. Pair programming in the large.

This is a great idea that John kind of touched on at the last meeting. I
imagine there are lots of folks with ideas for Ruby applications/libraries
that they would like guidance and/or extra horsepower on. I know there's at
least one. Chipy had a relatively small sprint earlier this year which was a
lot of fun...and very useful. It might be nice to have time at the meetings
for coding, perhaps some of it on a big screen. I don't know how this would
work.

This isn't really relevant to this conversation, but I've been finding
myself pining for a local organization that cuts across the languages. I
don't really know how it functions, but the Robot-Coop [1] seems to be a
loose affiliation of coders who use the coop as an umbrella for their
various activities. It would be neat to see a similar organization grow up
here in Chicago. There are afterall local groups for Ruby, Perl, Python,
Java and Lisp...and javascript doesn't really even fit in there.

Maybe I just love the name robot-coop :-)

Ryan, would you be able to prepare a little something for us to work on 
together? 15-30 min of coding would be great. Even better if it 
complimented either the Modules presentation or Ruby Basics presentation.

I have reserved a room for the event.

DePaul Student Center
2250 N. Sheffield Avenue
Room 314b (third floor)
Date: Dec 3rd
Time: 2pm to 6pm

They're going to try to get us 314a as well.  The two rooms combine to
make one large room.  I'll email as soon as I hear if this is possible or
not.

314b alone will support 100 people with only chairs.

314 combined will support 100 people with both tables and chairs.

They were also wondering if the estimate of 100 people was at all high?
For our part I could see up to about 15 people from DLC coming.  If Ruby
and Python groups could give another estimate, I can try to work out
setups.

I like how the only question so far is why Chicago :). Frankly this is 
the thing that I would like to ask them as well. It would be nice to see 
Chicago as a hub of new IT ideas. I think that initial predispositions 
are here. We can use meeting and gatherings to further this by inspiring 
and helping each other. Or something ...

Also, on the O'Reilly tip in general, if you folks haven't signed up
for the User Group program yet, you should.  They're really great
about providing review copies of books, and keeping the group updated.
 They also give a 30% (I think, it might be 20%) discount for users
groups.

All,

I've added an RSVP system to the Web site:

http://snakesandrubies.com/event/details/#rsvp-1

Please take a moment to RSVP there. I closed the ability to
RSVP on the Meetup site, so if you already RSVPed, you will
need to do so again.

Hope to see you at the event!
