Easing into 2010 wasn’t too painful – let’s keep the momentum rolling.
Tuesday February 9, at the Trinity Bar – 505 Crown St, Surry Hills, NSW 2010 (upstairs) 6:30 for a 7pm start!
We have 3 or so lightning talks:
- Mark Wotton – Jammit Sideways
- Andrew Harvey – Salute to the Sun: Finding search Zen with Solr
- Sam Saffron – something about Arel with a yet to be announced slightly less witty title
- Dave Bolton – Beyond Actions
If you want to join in and do a lightning talk (5min) or try your hand at a chunkier sized talk (15min) then head on over to the wiki and signup.
This month we’ll be hosting the meetup at REA* (realestate.com.au’s HQ) in Richmond. We’ll have a regular style meetup: A couple of presentations, some food, followed by some drinks at the Royston hotel*
Got a presentation?
We’re looking for presentations between 2 and 15 minutes in length. Show something that you’ve worked on, a problem you’ve solved, some cool technology that you’ve come across recently. New comers are welcome, there is no special guest list.
What day?
Thursday the 28th of Jan. Thats this week!
When to arrive?
Arrive for 6pm, we’ll be starting promptly at 6:30pm. If you’ve got something else on we’ll be at the Royston from around 8pm.
Parking
There is paid casual parking in the basement of the building and a fair bit of unmetered (2 hour during the day) on-street parking in surrounding streets. I’d suggest parking on Harrison Crescent or Doonside Street. There’s also paid parking in the Victoria Gardens shopping centre itself

Ruby meetup time again – this month we’re definitely going ahead! Usual time of 6:30 on second Tuesday of the month – the 10th of November. At 168 South Terrace, Adelaide (one down from the Sealink building).
(Adam Davies): I’d like to give a talk on either/both:
- 1 – CouchDB: document-oriented storage (think persistent saved JSON) accessible via HTTP/REST. Plus you can query in a funky map-reduce kind of way—a little mind bending for SQL/ORM guys, BUT it makes some things incredibly simple. I’ll demo using it for distributed logging to a central db.
- 2 – Ruby on the command line… using Ruby to write simple command-line scripts, and clever one-liners.
If anyone wants to give a lightning demo (5min) or present (15min), please head over here
We have some awesome speakers and a different venue for this month. Arrive at 6 for a 6:30 start.
Read about the venue, speakers and other details in this thread
See you there!
We have two people who have volunteered to give presentations this month:
- Mark Wotton – Hubris (Calling Haskell code from Ruby)
- Richard Heycock – AMQP/EventMachine

11th August, 6.30pm
With the renewed interest (Thanks to Michael, Daniel, Keith, Derek, Rich, Sincheol and friends!) ...the Adelaide Ruby meetings are definitely back on.
When:
11th August 09 6:30pm - 7:30pm
Where:
Sealink Board room 440 King William Street, Adelaide Enter via front door of Sealink Building -- corner of King William/South Terrace
What:
We have a number of suggestions ranging from introductory (would suit some of the newcomers), to tools, frameworks and experiences! I've singled out the "Experience on large ROR projects" suggestion, as it'll be interesting for new rubyists & old timers.
How about we meetup informally this time (given it's only a few days away) and welcome those new to Ruby/Rails/etc...?
Afterwards we can head somewhere nearby for a drink and/or dinner.
Thanks to our fantastic speakers, Thoughtworks and all who attended. Melbourne RORO was incredible last night!
Some notable events in the ruby/rails world since last meet up.
