[LRUG] Talks required - November, December, January, ...

[Frederick Cheung]

Taking off my organiser hat for a second here are some topics / questions
of my own:

- what's new & exciting in rails 7.1 ?  It could be a big feature or
something small that makes your life easier (I for one are happy that
exclusion constraints are now in!)
- were you one of the lucky few that had a ticket to railsworld? What
interesting ideas did you pick up?
