Or even ideas for alternative style evenings that people might want to attend (lightning talks, no-agenda reject conf style, hack-days, etc...). <BR><BR>I know a bunch of LRUGers were at Railsconf, and a few even presented, might one or two of you want to re-run your talks for us? Or the guys who have been representing LRUG at extra-curricular meetings recently, maybe you'd like to re-run your talks for us.<BR><BR>The main point of this mail tho is that I'm struggling to cajole folk into doing something for the October meeting. As I said, there's Ian lined up with resources_controller, but that still leaves a hole in the evening. As Tom Armitage said in his talk last month, it's not hard to play with something over a weekend or two and present your findings as a 'hey, this was neat, what do you think?' style talk. <BR><BR>Muz<DIV><SPAN class="e" id="q_1154691727085d92_1"><BR><BR><DIV><SPAN class="gmail_quote">On 19/09/2007, <B class="gmail_sendername">Paul Ardeleanu</B> <<A href="mailto:pardel@gmail.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> pardel@gmail.com</A>> wrote:</SPAN><BLOCKQUOTE class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> On 19/09/2007, Daniel Tenner <<A href="mailto:daniel.ruby@tenner.org" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">daniel.ruby@tenner.org</A>> wrote:<BR>> I for one would be very keen on hearing if anyone's used Flex and <BR>> Rails together, and what sort of hurdles they hit on the way, what <BR>> appeared simple at first but turned out to be THE headache of the<BR>> month....<BR><BR>The Simeon Bateman presentation (today) was pretty good although kind<BR>of an introduction in Flex + Rails but, unfortunately, the Monday <BR>tutorial sucked... big time.<BR><BR>> Superficially, they seem (to me) like a match made in heaven - Rails<BR>> takes care of all the server stuff really nicely and Flex has a full<BR>> UI toolkit that talks to the backend through whatever means you want. <BR>> But as usual, I'm sure the devil is in the details.<BR><BR>Simeon seems to prefer RubyAMB over WebORB.<BR><BR>Paul<BR>_______________________________________________<BR>Chat mailing list<BR><A href="mailto:Chat@lists.lrug.org" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)"> Chat@lists.lrug.org</A><BR><A href="http://lists.lrug.org/listinfo.cgi/chat-lrug.org" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">http://lists.lrug.org/listinfo.cgi/chat-lrug.org</A><BR></BLOCKQUOTE> </DIV><BR> </SPAN></DIV><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>Chat mailing list<BR><A onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="mailto:Chat@lists.lrug.org">Chat@lists.lrug.org</A><BR><A onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://lists.lrug.org/listinfo.cgi/chat-lrug.org" target="_blank"> http://lists.lrug.org/listinfo.cgi/chat-lrug.org</A><BR><BR></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><BR><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">_______________________________________________</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; ">Chat mailing list</DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><A href="mailto:Chat@lists.lrug.org">Chat@lists.lrug.org</A></DIV><DIV style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; "><A href="http://lists.lrug.org/listinfo.cgi/chat-lrug.org">http://lists.lrug.org/listinfo.cgi/chat-lrug.org</A></DIV> </BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><BR></DIV></DIV></BODY></HTML>
