[ANN] October Phoenix Ruby U. Group Meeting October Phoenix Ruby U. Group Meeting Date: Monday, October 13, 2008 Time: 6:30 pm Place: Happy Camper Studios 4643 E. Thomas Rd. Suite #3 Phoenix, AZ 85018 See [http://www.rubyaz.org](http://www.rubyaz.org) for details Topics: Likely talks/demos/previews: - Controlling Ruby apps with the Wii remote James B. will demonstrate how to use a Wii game console remote to drive a JRuby application. See how to have your applications respond to Wiimote movement and button combinations. (Bonus: Hot Ruby MIDI-on-MIDI action!) The Phoenix Ruby U. Group meets at 6:30pm on the second Monday of each month, barring major holidays. Information may be found at [www.rubyaz.org](http://www.rubyaz.org). After the meeting (~8:15 pm) we plan on going out to dinner for more fun and fine conversation. We’ve been going to the Havana Cafe on Camelback Rd. (provide we get our asses up there before the kitchen closes). If you can’t make the Ruby meeting, please consider joining us for dinner. (We talk about all sorts of things, not just Ruby, so it’s a good opportunity for geeks of all tribes to hang out.) Note: If you are thinking of going straight to the restaurant, please call me (James B.) so I can have the restaurant plan for the appropriate number of people. See [rubyaz.org](http://rubyaz.org) for my number. Thanks, – James B.
