Thanks to everyone who attended the March meeting, and special thanks to Batchblue for hosting and providing pizza and drinks.

Eric Krause and Joe Alba gave a recap of their trip to RailsConf this year in Austin, TX. A few of the talks they recommended watching included the Keynote, “Let’s make the web faster – tips from trenches @ Google” by Ilya Grigorik, and “Ten Things You Didn’t Know Rails Could Do” by James Edward Gray II.
