[LRUG] [ANN / CFP] January Meeting Details

[Murray Steele]

Hi all,

It’s nearly 2025!  Which means it’s time to announce our JAnuary meeting.
It’s on Monday 13th, doors at 6pm to start at 6:30pm and be done with the
talks by 8pm.  We’ll be hosted by our friends at Canva in their office on
Hoxton Square.

More details, including registration details, available on
https://lrug.org/meetings/2025/january/

What the eagle-eyed among you will have noticed is that what we don’t have
yet is any content!

This is where you come in, so here are some ideas to inspire you to
volunteer:

* Rails 8 came out in early Nov (
https://guides.rubyonrails.org/8_0_release_notes.html), so by now if you’ve
upgraded you can share all the fun new features, or any pain points in the
upgrade process
* The festive season is upon us which means a new version of ruby is coming
(https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/master/NEWS_md.html), so an easy talk would
be a review of all the new features
* The festive season also means Advent of Code is running (
https://adventofcode.com/2024), if you’ve been taking part (no matter how
far you get) why not share some of the things you’ve learned, or just go
deep on the solution to one of the puzzles?
* Apparently, this year had a bumper crop of ruby content at conferences (
https://ruby.social/@marcoroth/113665539397868492), perhaps you’ve been to
a bunch of the conferences, or just spent a lot of quality ruby time on
YouTube - could you give us a rundown of your favourites?

Or, you know, whatever brilliant ideas you have.  We’d love to hear it!

Get in touch with us on talks at lrug.org to volunteer and we’ll help you in
any way you need to turn that idea into a great talk.

Cheers,

Murray & the rest of the organising team
