Hi guys,

I'm new to ruby and I'm wondering what level you expect from newcomers
that want to join your group?

Couple words why I want to do this:
- socializing with people
- learning ruby
- help to develop interesting projects

About myself:
- junior developer at startup company SeatQuest (C/C++, C#, javascript, T-SQL);
- pursuing master degree at Depaul

Bogdan,
  There are no formal requirements and it sounds like you'd fit right
in.  Come on out!

I was laid off yesterday from my job as a software tester on a
distributed agile team.

If you know of anyone looking for an agile tester/QA person (former
ThoughtWorker), let me know.  I live in Colorado so telecommuting is
required.

I'm a pretty good Ruby programmer but most of my experience is in
Watir/FireWatir, Selenium, API test clients of various kinds, and test
controller scripting, not application development.

Let me know if I can send anyone a resume.

Thanks,
-Chris

Subject: [Chirb] Open Source Bridge Conference
In-Reply-To: <96D6D649-BFC1-47B9-99AC-DA5AE397C607@gmail.com>
Message-ID: <OF5C7F3785.26177679-ON86257591.0003AC0E-86257591.0003FE53@thoughtworks.com>

Those of you at tonight's meeting will already be aware of the Open Source 
Bridge Conference.  We announced it at the meeting and had a raffle. 
Joseph Leddy won a free registration!  Congrats Joseph.  For the rest of 
you you can use this code: osb4228 to pay only 150$ for conference 
registration.  See you in portland?

Open Source Bridge
http://opensourcebridge.org

Open Source Bridge is a new conference for developers working with 
open source technologies. It will take place June 17-19 in Portland, 
OR, with five tracks connecting people across projects, languages and 
experience to explore how we do our work and why we participate in 
open source. The conference structure is designed to provide 
developers with an opportunity to learn from people they might not 
connect with at other events.

Open Source Bridge is run entirely by volunteers who believe in the 
need for an open source conference that focuses on the culture of 
being an open source citizen, regardless of where in the stack you 
choose to code. All proceeds from conference registration and 
sponsorship go directly to the costs of the conference.

Our sessions and events will share in-depth knowledge about using, 
creating and contributing to open source as citizens of a greater 
community. You'll find relevant information whether you write web apps 
for the cloud, tinker with operating system internals, create 
hardware, run a startup, or blog about technology.

We're still seeking proposals - and just extended the deadline to 
April 10th - so submit yours before time runs out.

Some examples of our proposals so far: Brian Aker on Drizzle, a reboot 
of MySQL designed "for the cloud"; Linux Kernel hacker Greg K-H about 
how Linux manages development; Ward Cunningham, inventor of the wiki, 
about what's next in collaboration; Amber Case, an anthropologist 
living in both the physical and virtual worlds, about Cyborg 
Citizenship. (You can view all current proposals at 
http://opensourcebridge.org/proposals/)

In addition to regular conference sessions, we will hold an 
unconference day for free-form sessions, and host a 24-hour dedicated 
"hacker lounge" at the top of the Portland Hilton. In addition to 
hosting the hacker lounge, the Hilton has offered Open Source Bridge 
attendees steeply discounted room rates, starting at $139/night.

The city of Portland is a great place to visit. It has a thriving 
technical community, a love of all things open source and offers many 
attractions for visiting geeks, including Powell's technical books, 
dozens of local brewpubs, and large greenspaces like Forest Park-all 
accessible by mass transit.

Visit http://opensourcebridge.org/ to learn more about the conference, 
see our session proposals, and register to attend.

All,

 

Sorry, if I am intruding but I simply wanted to get the word out about the
Code Camp <http://www.chicagocodecamp.com/>  we are putting together for the
Chicago area on May 30th.  Right now we are trying to solicit speakers and
attendees.

What we are looking for in speakers..?  Simple, kick ass, passionate
developers who love to teach others on the cool stuff they are doing.  

What type of content are we looking for..?  Simple, you name it we want it.

*	Development Practices/Craftsmanship 
*	.Net 
*	Ruby (Rails) 
*	Java 
*	PHP 
*	Sharepoint 
*	iPhone 
*	. fill in the blank 

Unlike other coding events that have been put on in Chicago, this event is
geared towards all development communities.  We are looking forward to
creating a multi-language, multi-discipline event to end all events.

If you are someone that would like to present, please send me an email at
derikATgraudo.com .  Please include in this email the following information.

Your Name 
Your email 
Your Company (if u want that info out) 
Your Bio 
Your Abstract(s)

We will announce the sessions and the speakers at the end of April.

Thanks, and lets rock this event 

I will now let everyone get back to their daily lives.. thanks.

And it's about as current as you can get.  Dave and Andy mailed out  
the print copies just last week.

Welcome!

If you want a good, relatively cheap book you can also check out "The
Ruby Programming Language"
http://www.amazon.com/Ruby-Programming-Language-David-Flanagan/dp/0596516177

I'm really enjoying it and find it to be a good source of info.

Might be a bit late to ask, but RailsConf is the same week. Any chance
we can push May's meeting back to the 2nd Monday? May 11?

BTW - that request is mostly selfish, because I want to see Drew's
presentation, but I'm sure I'm not the only Chirber heading to vegas.
Or am I?

That sounds like a great presentation.  And I have no problem
personally with the date being moved if.
