[LRUG] April Meeting - 16th April - Lineup?

Wed Apr 4 07:08:20 PDT 2007

You're right, you were, and I forgot.  Like a fool.

Sounds like next month would be good, for both you and us, as this months
meeting sounds pretty full.  We can have some sort of beginner session (Ruby
or Rails, or a David Black style Ruby for Rails) and then your talk about
Lucene.  How's that sound?

Cheers,

Muz
