Hi all,<br><br>Seriously though, I've no leads for talks for the March meeting, so if people want to talk please volunteer yourself (or your colleagues - they're so lazy, make them do something for a change). Obviously, if there's stuff you want to hear about or alternative styles of meetings then suggest them too - as a group we might know someone we can convince to talk about or host such things.</blockquote>

* slipping ruby+rails into the UK "enterprise" (esp. in the guise of jruby)<br>* Ruby C extensions for improved performance<br>* Comet + Rails - Shootring star, Juggernaut, etc...<br>* Object/Document based dbs - CouchDB, gemstone with ruby/rails<br>
* Future of ruby - Rubinus, JRuby, MIR etc...<br>* Rails 2.0<br>* Algorithms (esp something along the lines of: 'Programming Collective Intelligece' published by O'Reilly<br>* Erlang - in the context of ruby, perhaps like how to emulate some of it's cool tricks (the mocking approach)<br>
