Hi all,

It’s time once again to dust off your ruby trousers and head on down to  
trendy Clerkenwell to meet up with the esteemed members of the London  
Ruby  
User Group at their February meeting.

Date: 11th February, 2008  
Meeting time: 6:30pm  
Meeting location: 1 Sekforde Street[1]  
Closest tube: Farringdon

Agenda

We’re doing lightning talks in the 20 slides for 20 seconds style.  
Speakers  
confirmed so far are:

- James A. - “Rails is not the only fruit”
- Richard L. - RSpec stories
- Rob McKinnon - “A Ruby Journey”
- Daniel T. - Adobe Flex: what it is, why he uses it with ruby
- Dafydd Rees - “When shouldn’t you use a DSL? and what can you do  
instead?”
- David S. - Rails deployment platforms
- Roland S. - Pattern matching in ruby
- Laurie Young - Design patterns in ruby

There may be more on the night, if you are interested in speaking get in  
touch with me directly or via the LRUG mailing list[2]. After the talks  
we  
go to the pub round the corner.

Pub time: about 8:00pm ish  
Pub location: The Crown Tavern[3]

For those that hate brevity there are more words, if not actual details,  
about the meeting on the LRUG website[4].

- NOTE \*  
If you think you might turn up please register with our hosts, Skills  
Matter, via their website[5]. We’ve had to close the doors on people  
who  
haven’t signed up because of reaching room capacity, Skills Matter can  
book  
a larger room, but only if they know enough people are coming to warrant  
it,  
and have enough notice.

See you there,

Muz
