[Rubyforchange-talk] Ruby for Change Codefest

[Jeff Casimir]

Codefest Volunteers (and Ruby for Change list),

I haven't done a good job as organizer of this event - apologies that
I haven't been in better touch.

I hope you're all excited about this weekend.  Tomorrow's speakers
look impressive, even those Ruport guys (cough).  I am hoping that we
can recruit a few more participants for Saturday during the day
tomorrow.

I'm getting all the logistical details from the Chariot people
tomorrow, but basically we have a big space for Saturday 9-4.  I'm
bringing at least one projector, a box of markers, some big planning
paper, whiteboard markers, a printer, an extra power strip or two (I'm
a little short on them at the moment), and whatever else makes it into
my trunk.  I can pickup/drop people off as necessary.  The facility
has wireless access.  Please let me know if there are any other
requests.

Elevated Rails has given us some cash for food & supplies.   Giles
suggested that we might donate a chunk of that money to a good cause,
but I've decided to hold on to it.  We'll buy the supplies for this
event and save the remainder for the next one.  Hopefully, over time,
we can build a bit of a war chest that enables bigger and more
impactful projects.

I am working on some pre-planning today and tonight.  Tomorrow I could
use help with preparing the support structures (like setting up the
RubyForge project/svn if anyone has experience there) and spreading
the word.

Questions?  Comments?  Heckling?
