Hi all,

The next meeting of the London Ruby U. Group is advancing menacingly  
towards us:

Date: June 11th  
Time: 6:30pm onwards  
Location: the Skills Matter offices at 1 Sekeford Street, EC1R 0BEL[1]  
Closest tube: Farringdon

LEARN!  
Dan W. will be talking to us about OpenID[2] and how to do it in your  
ruby  
apps. If this sounds familiar it’s the talk he was going to give last  
month  
but it had to be postponed after the slides had a terrible skydiving  
accident and had to be re-built with bionic transitions than can swap  
slides  
faster than a speeding car and bullet points capable of swooping in from  
over a mile away!

PRACTICE!  
Tom A. is going to host a session running some of Dave T.'s  
Code  
Kata’s[3]. This will involve breaking the meeting up into crack  
programmer  
units tasked with solving a problem they didn’t think up! Each group  
will  
then attempt to escape from these programming exercise stockades and  
escape  
to the Los A. underground where they will survive as programmers of  
fortune!

RELAX!  
After this brutal ruby-based onslaught the survivors will form up into a  
rag  
tag group and go off in search of the 13th colony, known locally as The  
Crown Tavern[4], where we will be free of cylon attack and able to relax  
with a frosty glass of ambrosia and chat about the adventures we had on  
the  
way.

REGISTER!  
If you are coming, it’s important that you register with Skills Matter  
via  
their LRUG page[5]. Registration numbers will be used by Skills Matter  
to  
work out seating and make sure we get the most appropriate room in The  
Village. Non-registrants may not get in and it’s possible they will be  
chased by a Rover, so you probably want to make sure you do register.

MORE DETAILS!  
More (non-tv-show-based) information is to be had on the LRUG  
website[6],  
should you want it.

SALUTATIONS!  
Hope to see you there.

Cheers,

Murray
