[LRUG] [ANN] February meeting details - talks still needed

[Murray Steele]

Reminder that Monday 12th Feb is our next meeting and it’s our annual
lightning talks extravaganza.  Full details at
https://lrug.org/meetings/2024/february and registraion is via
https://www.eventbrite.com/e/london-ruby-user-group-february-2024-meeting-tickets-699978242767

Currently we’re at 5 talks as we have just added:

"Co-locate your template & javascript code with Phlex & AlpineJS for a
happy developer!” by Martin Tomov

We’ve room for 8 so there’s still space for a few more.  Secure your time
in the spotlight by getting in touch with us on talks at lrug.org.  Note that
for those scared of bright lights, unless Funding Circle have drastically
upgraded their venue since we were there last, there is no _actual_
spotlight - don’t let that put you off!

Cheers,

Murray & the rest of the organising team
