  1. January 2010 Meetup

    January 27, 2010 by Craig

    Believe it or not, RIRUG is back in action and we will be holding our next meeting on Thursday, January 28, 2010.

    Topics will most likely include Cerberus Continuous Integration and MongoDB.

    We’ll meetup at the BatchBlue headquarters. BatchBlue is located at 131 Wayland Avenue, Providence RI.

    You can show up anytime between 6-7 PM. Go to the side of the building and you will see some glass doors with a small BatchBlue sticker on them. Do not go to the top floor as that is Working Planet; BatchBlue is in the basement.

    RIRUG Google Groups mailing list so we have a decent idea of how many folks to expect.

    Hope to see you there, and thanks to BatchBlue for providing the space again.

  2. December Hackfest Details

    December 11, 2008 by Craig

    After some discussion, we will be having our first “hackfest” this coming Monday night, December 15.

    We’ll meetup at the new BatchBlue headquarters. BatchBlue is located at 131 Wayland Avenue, Providence RI.

    You can show up anytime between 6-7 PM. Go to the side of the building and you will see some glass doors with a small BatchBlue sticker on them. Do not go to the top floor as that is Working Planet; BatchBlue is in the basement.

    There are no special details for the hackfest and just one simple rule: no “day-job” work allowed. Come and work on your own projects and scratch an itch. Bring your current Ruby, Rails, Merb, Sinatra, Python, Perl, or even Erlang project (.NET developers need not apply) to hack on with others. Have a hardware project you are working on, that’s cool too. Sick of coding and just want to hang, perfect.

    If you do come, bring a few bucks for some chow as we hope to have pizza and drinks on-site. Please RSVP below in the comments or on the RIRUG Google Groups mailing list so we have a decent idea of how many folks to expect.

    Hope to see you there, and thanks to BatchBlue for providing the space.

  3. First Meeting Ideas for October

    August 26, 2008 by Craig

    We are hoping to plan and hold the first RI Ruby User Group sometime this October.

    We still have a bit of work to do on the planning side – mainly lining up volunteers to speak and finding a date and location.

    We’ll need a few people to volunteer to give a short talk or presentation since I haven’t been able to line a guest speaker up yet. The more volunteers the shorter everyone needs to talk. Maybe the first meeting can just be a simple “Drop your Pants” session where everyone gives a blitz talk on what projects they are currently working on??

    Ideas? Comments? Suggestions?

    Leave a comment if you are willing to give a talk and/or if you have any suggestions on a venue for the meetup.

    Here is the original discussion thread on RI Nexus as well.
