[Boulder Ruby Group] BRG - June Meeting - Jun 20th

[Marty Haught]

Hello Everyone,

First, we have our June meeting scheduled for Wednesday the 20th at
6:30pm.  We'll begin the meeting with a RailsConf 2007 reflection.
Several of us that attended the conference will present our thoughts
on the conference.  Any of you who attended are invited to come on up
to Boulder and share with us.  The second part of the meeting will be
a presentation on full text search from Ruby by Lee Marlow.
Collective Intellect will provide food as usual and we'll have a short
break between the talks for mingling.  It should be a good time so I
hope to see you all out there.

Second, I have been working on a REAL website for the group.  It's
still in progress but I figured I'll release it to you all.  Look for
us to flesh out different sections of the site over the coming months.
 If you have any comments/feedback on the site or section/information
that is sorely lacking, please let either Tim or I know.  We'll still
post meeting announcements to the list but this site will hold all the
current information.  While we'll continue to use the RubyForge
project, please direct your web queries to the new site.  The url is
http://boulderruby.org.

Finally, we're going to drop the Denver part of our name.  When I
decided to start this group back in 2005 there were no other
Ruby/Rails groups meeting in the area.  Our first meeting was
scheduled for the first week after the Pragmatic's RailsStudio in
Denver in January 2006.  Derailed formed from the group and they've
got Denver covered nicely.  It was also my ideal to have the group
meet between Boulder and Denver and while our initial meetings were
near Broomfield on Hwy 36, that didn't last long.  I don't foresee us
leaving Boulder anytime in the future so it seemed simpler to just be
the Boulder Ruby Group.  That's what we'll be from now on.  We, of
course, still welcome anyone from anywhere to come hang out with us.
We have members from all over the Front Range as well as some out of
state guests from time to time.  We're a friendly, laid-back group but
then again most of you already know that. ;)

Cheers,
Marty
