[LRUG] [ANN] September meeting DATE CHANGE

Wed Sep 10 15:04:29 PDT 2025

Hi all,

Pleased to announce that we have a 2nd talk sorted for September.  Joel
Chippendale is going to share his talk “Get on the same side of the table”
all about having more productive discussions and disagreements at work.
Not ruby specific, but a situation that’s probably very familar.

More on the talk at https://lrug.org/meetings/2025/september/

See you on Monday!

Cheers,

Murray
