When?

Where?

Toowong Library, Toowong Village Shopping Centre, Level 3, 9 Sherwood Rd

What?

To The SplunkPhone, Batman!

Coming up this time around:

• Deployment of Rails applications has been a thorny issue for beauracratic organisations. Tom Adams takes us through building and deploying a Rails application under Tomcat using JRuby and Warbler. Should keep those prickly corporates happy. We might even be able to twist Tom's arm to tell us a little about how he iPhone-ised that same application.
• Stuart Fraser will give us a short introduction to Splunk, a tool for gathering up and correlating useful info from your log files and a whole lot more.
• Paul O'Keeffe will cover a couple more of the tools in his testing toolkit, including Mocha and the Rails helper_test plugin.

There's still room for anyone else who's keen to talk about something. I'll happily step aside if need be.

I'll lock in Jackpot for the usual beer and a bite afterwards. There is even a possibility that we may have a sponsor this time to help fund the frivolity.

Once again, it would be nice to have a connection to The Tubes, so if anyone can bring along a dongle, that would be great.

See the Meetup web site for more info.
