Hey guys,

Open invite to the group and hope to see everyone show up, Denver may or may
not be a bit of a trek for the Boulder people. Feel free to pass this on,
and invite other people who aren't on the list as well.

Signup for the event on gathersus.
http://gathers.us/events/obtiva-denver-drinkup  so we can get a rough count
of people. If you're terrified of signing up, show up anyhow.

Hope to see you there.

-Charley

Message-ID: <CAL87JQk2HPADmmvcn33LQqZFC+vmVXC43PsKbwGTsig_uGaV+w@mail.gmail.com>

The July Boulder Ruby meeting is next week on Tuesday July 19th at
7pm.  Pivotal Labs is generously providing both food and beer for the
meeting for those that want to come a bit early to hang out and
socialize.  Doors open at 6:30 for such activity.

Tim Pease will present on Ruby Application Basics to start us off.
Often times a simple one-off Ruby script needs to be turned into a
full fledged application complete with command line option parsing,
logging, daemonization, and configuration. This talk will take a look
at various tools for accomplishing these tasks. Along the way will be
some examples of best practices and creating a cohesive whole from
these various parts.

Following that, Gerred Dillon will talk about building high
performance, API-driven applications using Goliath and managing them
using Foreman.  All in all should be an awesome meeting so I hope to
see you all there.

Cheers,
Marty Haught
http://boulderruby.org


Directions:
Everlater/Pivotal Labs
1701 Pearl St
Boulder, CO 80302

Use the 17th St entrance closer to the alley on the NE side of the
intersection. You should see the Pivotal Labs logo in the window. The
meeting space is upstairs.

The code directory contains a working sample of the "enigma" decrypter service. You can run the "setup.sh" script and then run "bin/enigma --help" to get rolling. Or you can just learn all this from the README file.

Thanks for coming tonight! The ruby community around here is awesome; it's a big part of what makes programming enjoyable.

Message-ID: <CAL87JQkPfrj31PPKFNe=dnf4C2Do90CrQ4JMaZTW1HJ4hW9Dag@mail.gmail.com>

Hey Everyone,

We're really close to announcing more details on Rocky Mountain Ruby.
Two vacations have sidelined us and kept the website from being
updated promptly.  We'll have that fixed in the next day and blast out
the new details.

In the meantime, I do have a request.  I need someone with print
experience to help put together our printable program guides.  We're
not looking for anything amazing, just laying out ads, logos and text
in a professional way.  Please contact me if you can assist with this.

Cheers,
Marty

Message-ID: <CAL87JQm=t=WTZdDJ-aM9Si=5WoY7r8EQh7-hHaGEn4Lw2e1+Zg@mail.gmail.com>

Hey Everyone,

Along with help with the program guide, I have some side work for a
web developer on Rocky Mountain Ruby's website.  First, I need someone
that is solid with the modern Rails web stack (html, css, js, rails)
with a touch of design sense.  Your Rails knowledge isn't as vital as
being able to make good looking changes to our site.  There will be
some design elements to it as we'll be creating new pages with
different layouts that need to match up with the rest of the site.
Second, I need someone that can help me immediately.  It won't be a
ton of hours but I need them ASAP.  Finally, if you're good with copy
that's an extra bonus but not necessary.

I know several of you have asked over the past couple months if you
can help with the conference.  There's not a lot of places I can plug
folks in but I now have need of some extra web help.  So here's your
chance.  Email me offlist if you're interested and how soon you can
get started. :)

Cheers,
Marty

Finally, we have our sessions published online.  Read more at:
http://rockymtnruby.com/sessions

You'll also find a simplified conference schedule there as well.
We'll be rolling out more details on everything over the next week,
including a detailed schedule of the session days.  Sorry for the
delay, July's been a hectic month that kept several of us busy with
other things.  Worry not, the conference planning is going well and
we're looking forward to the end of August.

One more thing, we have a discounted room rate at the Boulderado.
They are currently holding rooms in reserve for us but they will be
released come July 31st if they are not reserved.  If you or someone
you know was thinking of booking at the Boulderado, please do not
delay.  You'll find details on our registration page:

Weare organizing a stay with a local program for the conf and are in need of
hosts.

Ideally you would have a spare room but even a couch or air mattress would
do. Another nice to have is that you are close to the Boulder Theater or a
bus route to downtown since attendees may not have a car.  If you aren't
close to downtown please respond as well and I can pair you with someone
with a car.

If you are interested, send a description of available lodging and location
in town.

Thanks in advance,
Mike

I see some folks in the Boulder area on couchsurfing.net. Would that work?
