[LRUG] [ANN] November meeting details

[Murray Steele]

Hi all,

Our November meeting will be on Monday 8th November, and as usual we’ll
congreate over zoom.  The “doors” open at 6:20pm, we kick off formal
proceedings about 6:30pm and we aim to be finished by 8pm.  Some of us will
hang out on the zoom call after the talks past 8pm if you’d like to keep
chatting ruby.

This meeting we have … uh … is this right? … 0 talks lined up.

Ah.

Hmm.

That’s not great is it?

We have one talk pencilled in for December, but our November meeting is
empty right now.  That’s where you come in, we hope.  We’re looking for
short (up to 10 minutes), medium (upto 25 minutes) or long (up to 40
minutes) talks on something ruby or ruby-adjacent.  If you program in ruby,
and you think it’s interesting, chances are most of our attendees would
too.  For example there were a couple of people last month thinking about
giving talks on the new JS ecosystem that Rails 7 will expose us to.  It’s
not ruby, but it is ruby-adjacent.

We also don’t expect that our speakers are experts in their topics.  It
might be that you’ve just dug into something and wanted to share your first
impressions, or you want to talk about something you find confusing to
start a discussion about it and get tips.  Or maybe you want to share that
you were daunted by something and actually it wasn’t that complex once you
dug into it and you want to share that experience too.  We love hearing
freshing perspectives on our tools, and we’re more than happy to help you
shape an idea into a talk, we’d even run a rehearsal with you if you wanted.

Anyway please volunteer something - we’d love to hear from you!  And do
spread the word to your colleauges, friends, family, acquaintances that
we’re looking.  Heck, at this point we’d probably even be happy for you to
spread the word to your enemies too.

We’ll post the registration page on eventbrite and meeting details on
lrug.org shortly, but hope to be able to do so with at least one talk on
the agenda before we do.  Could you be our saviour?

Cheers,

Murray & the rest of the LRUG organising team
