Mailing List / Google Group

You can subscribe to the mailing list using the ScotRUG Google Group information page. The list is for announcements of ScotRUG activities and general support/discussion about Ruby (and Ruby on Rails!). Feel free to post any questions you have; we’re an open and friendly community. As of the last time I checked, the mailing list has around 75 members.

Video

Videos of previous presentations, provided courtesy of Neo, are available here.

IRC group

We now also have an IRC channel available. It’s pretty quiet at the moment, but I’m sure we’ll pick up a number of idlers now that it’s been announced. You can find us on irc.freenode.net in #scotrug.

Edinburgh August ScotRUG - 16 August 2012

posted 10 Aug 2012

August is an exciting time to be in Edinburgh, not least because of our exciting Ruby Festival lineup of:-

  • Pat Allan will be talking on building gems from scratch. Pat is well-known for Thinking Sphinx, travelling the world, and being an all-round top-bloke.
  • Sam Elliot will be bending minds, relating Erlang to Ruby. Sam last entertained his with his Dusty Corners of Ruby talk in January.

The talks will take place at Fringe Venue #AF27, the FreeAgent offices (as usual) at 19:30.

Update: Changed the date to reflect reality. Update: Changed Sam’s talk.
