Bosco So has located a promising new venue for the SF Ruby Meetup:

There is WiFi access to the Internet as well as a large plasma  
TV/monitor for presentations. In addition to offering caffeine  
in various forms, they have sandwiches and desserts. Lastly,  
there are lots of dining opportunities nearby for apres-event  
chowing.

```

Meanwhile, I’m continuing to schedule Beer & Pizza SIGs, allowing  
us to have comestibles, conversation, etc. My spouse Vicki and I  
really like Wild Pepper; see her review at

[http://www.cfcl.com/vlb/weblog/archives/000904.html](http://www.cfcl.com/vlb/weblog/archives/000904.html)

so you can expect a fair sampling of “Beer and Egg Roll SIGs” to  
show up in the mix. Unlike Pasquales Pizzeria, Wild Pepper tends  
not to be a crowded venue. This is bad for them, but good for us  
(quiet environment, lots of available tables, etc.) Works…

1/10 6:15 pm The San Francisco Ruby Meetup Group will meet at the  
Golden Gate Perk cafe (401 Bush St.; SF, CA). For  
details and directions, see  
[http://ruby.meetup.com/6/events/4815812](http://ruby.meetup.com/6/events/4815812)

```
             6:15 - general Q/A, problem solving, and caffeine

             7:00 - talk on Model-based Documentation by (sigh)
                    yours truly.

             7:30 - back to caffeine and conversation

```

1/25 8:00 pm The Beer & Pizza SIG will meet at Wild Pepper (3601  
26th St.; SF, CA). For details and directions, see

Well, now that we’ve survived the holidays (hopefully??), if there’s  
sufficient interest in a south bay ruby meeting, let it be known and I  
can set a date to host something, even if it’s just a meet and greet  
for south bay ruby/rails developers. I could probably put together a  
quick ditty on libxml, memcache, rails ([penny-arcade.com](http://penny-arcade.com)), or  
PostgreSQL if folks are interested in those topics. -sc
