Getting things running was not too bad once we got over a couple of initial hurdles. I'll post the code we wrote, along with a summary of some of the discussion, tomorrow or over the weekend. We did have a couple issues left undecided: 1) When should we have the next meeting? The 14th and 21st were kicked around as possible dates, but nothing decided. Anyone have a preference? 2) Any volunteers for talks or presentations, or other ideas for what to do? One possibility that was discussed briefly would be to break into pairs and try to write a small app (Rails or otherwise) during the course of the meeting. -Steve From steve.holder at gmail.com Fri Jul 27 12:35:43 2007 From: steve.holder at gmail.com (Steve Holder) Date: Fri, 27 Jul 2007 09:35:43 -0700 Subject: [Pasadenarb-general] Rails opening at BSS Message-ID: <7d2225580707270935n30b09538me8d259c756334a1f@mail.gmail.com> Hey all- Building Safety Solutions (BSS), the company that Jacob, Jeremie and I work for, is looking to add a Software Engineer to our team.
