I am going to go over later today. I have one question thus far....Are you allowing public use of the look in your slides for other ruby presentations?

I just realized that this was posted about a month ago. I do not know how it just now showed up in my inbox. =) Zach From ng at johnwlong.com Thu Oct 6 19:56:55 2005 From: ng at johnwlong.com (John W.

Message-ID: <43542954.7020409@johnwlong.com> Ok, guys, we've had a ton of you talking about doing a meetup in Chicago. I'm fine with this (although Hinsdale is very convenient for me), especially if it means more people will attend. Would one of you be willing to step up as the venue organizer? I've live in the burbs and am not very familiar with the downtown area. (Otherwise I would try and arrange something myself.) All it would take is for someone to work out the arrangements for the place we will meet up each month. Preferably a conference room, but we could try something like Panera Bread (which has free wifi). Any takers? -- John From ng at johnwlong.com Wed Oct 19 20:18:36 2005 From: ng at johnwlong.com (John W.

I really appreciated your enthusiasm for the presentation. Your questions were excellent and helped me know that I was connecting with my audience. I hope that I will have the opportunity to meet with you again in the future. Jason mentioned the idea of doing more cross-language pollination with us and with the Python group. This sounds like an awesome idea. Let me know what I can do to help. Oh, yeah. Someone asked about the unix commands I was using on Windows: http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/ Again, I had a blast... thanks. :-) -- John Long http://wiseheartdesign.com _______________________________________________ Chicago-talk mailing list Chicago-talk at pm.org http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/chicago-talk From ryan.platte at pobox.com Wed Oct 19 23:18:49 2005 From: ryan.platte at pobox.com (Ryan Platte) Date: Wed, 19 Oct 2005 22:18:49 -0500 Subject: [Chicago Area Ruby Group] [Fwd: [Chicago-talk] Ruby Presentation Slides] In-Reply-To: <4356E25C.4080208@johnwlong.com> References: <4356E25C.4080208@johnwlong.com> Message-ID: <60353C9A-9C0A-4CEC-86E0-0F27B5E2A63C@pobox.com> sounds like it went well!

But it also includes a (Perl) Wiki: http://chicagogroup.rubyforge.org/wiki/wiki.pl The HomePage and IBLPLocation pages look to have been trashed by (Russian?) spammers; I guess neither was really that important, and JohnL seems to have preserved the IBLPLocation info via the Meetup invites. Still, it might be useful again someday.
