Quent, Glad you could make it.  We did have a good time last night so
thanks to all the BDRG regulars and newcomers who made it last night.
As for the food and space you can thank Collective Intellect and their
generosity.  They have been providing both a space for our meetings as
well as food to keep us from getting hungry since last February.   We
also need to thank O'Reilly for the two books we gave away last night.
 I still have enough to do another round.  Hopefully I can get some
newer books in to continue to book hand-outs in March and beyond.

One more thing I wanted to mention to the list was about the Mountain
West Ruby Conference.  It is a new annual regional Ruby conference
being held this year in Salt Lake City on March 16th and 17th.  It
should be two days of interesting Ruby presentations, panels and
discussions.  I would like to get an informal count of anyone
considering attending.  More details such as the speaker list and the
conference details should be finalized in the next few weeks.  Please
email me off list if you're considering it.

Otherwise, we'll see most of you in February for our next meeting.  It
will happen on the usual 3rd Wednesday of the month, Feb 21st.

Cheers,
Marty
