Hi all,

The London Ruby U. Group is having it’s March meeting this coming  
Monday.

Date: Monday, 10th March, 2008  
Time: 6:30pm for the talks, 8:00pm for the pub  
Location: 1 Sekforde Street[1] for the talks, The Crown Tavern[2] for  
the pub  
Closest tube: Farringdon

Agenda

Thomas Pomfret and Andrew S. are both doing short warm-up /  
trailer versions of their talks for the Scotland on Rails conference  
in April. Thomas is talking about a rails app he wrote for Channel 4  
that was used to help with mobile phone voting and Andrew is talking  
about handling long running tasks in rails.

Following them Kresten Krab Thorup will talk about implementing ruby  
on the JVM and discuss the chanllenges he faced in doing so.

Once the talking is done, we make our way to the pub for the chatting.

More details about all of the talks can be found on the LRUG website[3].

_NOTE_  
It’s important that if you want to come you register with our hosts,  
Skills Matter, on their website[4] as without proper indication of  
numbers, we’ll get the wrong sized room and have to refuse people  
entry on the grounds of fire regulations.

See you all there,

Muz

Because of huge numbers of registrants the talks will now be held at  
The Old Sessions House, which is about 5 mins away from the original  
venue.

We’ll go to the same pub though, as it’s still close by.
