September 15, 2011 - Let's make stuff | Scottish Ruby User Group

About

The Scottish Ruby User Group is a collection of people who are linked with Scotland and have an interest in Ruby and Ruby on Rails.

We meet every month online and in person in Edinburgh for presentations from members and guests, and a chat about Ruby and related subjects.

All are welcome, and there are no subscriptions or costs involved.

Meetings are announced in advance on the mailing list, Meetup, and Google Group and follow our code of conduct.

You can also find us on:

Meeting up

We currently meet online on the second Thursday of the month at 18:00. Currently we’re experimenting with the most appropriate video conferencing solution. Links will be posted the day before if you’re signed up on Meetup.

Mailing List

You can browse and subscribe to the list using the ScotRUG Google Group information page. The list is for announcements of activities and general Ruby support and discussion; feel free to post any questions you may have.

IRC

We have a Freenode channel #scotrug, though it’s quite quiet. There’s also the Gitter channel around the ScotRUG github repository. It is also quiet.

Code of Conduct

To ensure we provide a welcoming and friendly environment for all, attendees, speakers, organisers, and volunteers at any ScotRUG meetup are required to conform to our code of conduct.

Organizers will enforce this code throughout the meetup and meetup-related social events.

Videos

Videos of previous presentations have been provided courtesy of Cultivate.

September 15, 2011 - Let's make stuff

posted 12 Sep 2011

Suggested by Matt Wynne, September’s meetup is going to be all about making stuff. We will kick off the session with 5 minute presentations by people with project ideas, then we will break up into groups and start working on the project. We’ve already had a few ideas suggested on the mailing list.

Matt Wynne wants to make a start on a test-based dynamic analysis tool for Ruby, DARTS.
Sam Elliot wants some helping hands with Ruby Pair
Drew Neil has an idea of applying Doctor JS, Mozilla’s Javascript Static Analysis tool to Coffeescript.

Come along, bring an idea and/or willingness to help and take part.

We will be at the usual place, The Edinburgh Training Centre on Thursday 15th September, starting at 19:30.
