[ANN] First gathering of #ruby-pro on 27th of June, 23:00 UT

I’m proud to announce that #ruby-pro will be holding its first gathering
on Friday.
#ruby-pro is an IRC channel[1] on irc.freenode.org where experienced and
advanced Ruby coders can meet and talk, and
where less experienced Rubyists can watch and learn.
One of #ruby-pro’s aims is to spread knowledge. To that end we hold
gatherings
where several topics are presented, each by a host and each in the
format the host of that topic considers best.

The topics of the June 27 gathering will be:

  • BreezeForms: a library to deal with webforms
  • Treetop: Parse anything from configuration files to programming
    languages
  • git: tutorial, walkthrough and demo through the distributed revision
    control software
  • EventMachine: general walkthrough, some example apps, and a sampling
    of the “really fast” stuff

Planned time for the topics is 45 minutes total. If we should exceed one
hour, subsequent topics can be postponed to the next gathering to allow
us to give them full and fair treatment.

Since this is the first gathering it has the touch of the experimental.
We don’t know yet how it will work out. But we invite everybody
wholeheartedly to join, listen and discuss afterwards.

To join the gathering, join #ruby-pro-gathering on irc.freenode.net at
23:00 UTC.
If you’re new to IRC, the wikipedia entry lists some software for
different platforms.
