To those of you coming to tomorrow's meeting:

I want to advise everyone that there will be no wireless network 
available.  Friday is our last day in the W. Washington office and our 
wireless equipment has been packed over to the new space in the AON 
center.  I would recommend that everyone download the files you need ahead 
of time.  I am going to bring a couple usb key drives with park place and 
some other goodies, but don't expect to connect to the internet.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

On the positive side the pizza will be from Piece: www.piecechicago.com
Looking forward to tomorrow's meeting

Steve Goering,

I am a developer with over 10 years experience as a consultant. My
career started out developing mainframe Apps, but over the last few
years I have been working on projects that replace mainframe based
CICS apps with web based front ends.

My work experience on the web side has been mainly in Java. I
completed the Java developer's course at DePaul university in Spring
of 2005. In the 1990's I was involved in some Perl CGI scripting, but
most of my Perl experience has been as a utility programming language.

I have not used MySQL in an enterprise environment, as most of my
experience is in DB2. However I am comfortable with the MySQL command
line interface and have over a decade's experience in programming with
SQL and relational databases.

In my latest project I was the development team lead responsible for
the software that would convert the client's data from the 1980's era
VSAM/CICS system to the new DB2 backed, Java based system.

After working with the Java framework for a few years, my experience
told me that there had to be a better way. The J2EE structure is
overly complicated with to many inter-dependencies. This made some
tasks that should be simple every complicated. This frustration led me
to discover Ruby on Rails. I attended the RoR training course offered
by the Pragmatic studio in Spring of 2006. I have tried to sell my
clients on a few implementations, but have not yet been successful. I
have been using the Rails framework to prototype some of the
relationships in my tables, but have coded the final implementations
in Java.

Please review my resume, and if you are interested please feel free to
contact me. I look forward to hearing from you, and wish you good luck
in your search.

Thanks again,

Sean Lynch

I don't know if we have a presentation for december lined up yet, but I 
propose Jason Huggins, one of the authors of selenium, and myself give a 
presentation on using selenium to test AJAX in rails apps.  I've been 
doing a rails app that uses the google maps API and rails.  Selenium is a 
great way to test in rails, especially for those Ajaxy bits that are 
difficult to test otherwise.

The presentation would be very hands on and would familarize the audience 
with selenium, selenium on rails, and the selenium ide.  And since Jason 
will be here we will have a real expert around to answer any difficult 
selenium questions you might have.

This sounds absolutely fantastic. Is December 4th too early? That
would be the "normal" day for Chirb, though I don't know when the last
time we followed that date would have been.

I think the 4th is pushing it, Jason and I just decided this would be a 
good topic yesterday.  I've just sent an email to ask him if the following 
monday, the 11th, will be ok.  I'll obviously let the list know ASAP when 
I hear back from Jason.  In the meantime are there any obvious reasons we 
couldn't do it that day?
