Description

We'll have pizza & beer starting at 6pm, so stop by early if you want to have dinner and socialize before the presentations.

PRESENTATIONS at 7pm

This month we're doing something a little different!

We're going to have a panel of senior Ruby developers who will answer any questions relating to Ruby, getting into tech, things to focus on to amp up your Ruby career, or whatever else (that's relevant...) that may come to your mind. As such, we definitely recommend coming Tuesday if you're new to the tech community. Even if you're not new, there's still always new things to learn and ask.

The Senior Panel includes:

Brent Miller - 11 years as a Ruby developer, Principal Architect & Engineer @ New Relic
Sam Livingston-Gray - 10 years as a Ruby developer, Senior Engineer @ RealGeeks.com, Part of the Ruby Rogues podcast
Jesse Cooke - 9 years, Team Lead at InQuicker/Stericycle, contributor to Rubinius, Maglev and JRuby

We have a new regular emcee, Lauren Voswinkel. Lauren adds, "I have a bit of an announcement and a primer about an ongoing activity that I'd like to start running regularly at meetings."

After presentations we'll have more socializing time.

Thanks to New Relic for providing the venue and beer, pizza & snacks this month!
