<div>The July meeting is on the 12th so I need to get some speakers sorted out for it. Are there any talkers for what I describe below? We'd probably need about 5 or 6 of you to make this a worthwhile event. If no-one's into it I'll start looking for some other speakers, so if you have a talk idea along these lines (or anything else) do get in touch.</div>

In a secret backroom deal I have secured The Tim C and Chris O show for the August meeting*. Which brings me swiftly on to the July meeting. Anyone got any ideas?<div><br></div><div>I have one, but it requires a bunch of short talks, if anyone's interested. The idea is that:</div>
<div><br></div><div>1. You go watch Ben Griffiths' "Short Order Ruby" talk from Ruby Manor: <a href="http://rubymanor.org/harder/videos/short_order_ruby/" target="_blank">http://rubymanor.org/harder/videos/short_order_ruby/</a></div>
<div>2. You realise that:</div><div> a) you have a few little ruby scripts in this sort of short scrappy style</div><div> b) you are secretly proud of them and want to show them off</div><div><div> c) but you haven't put them on public source control to share them because they're full of passwords and private keys for ssh or apis</div>
</div><div>3. You come to LRUG in July (or some other month) and talk about one of them</div><div><br></div><div>I think this could be fun, and I'm sure there'd be lots of variety in the kinds of scripts we'd be seeing. We could probably aim for 5 or 6 speakers to fill the evening if people talk for 5-10 minutes each.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Also, if no-one is into that idea, or not prepared to make a whole meeting out of it for July, I recall that Anthony Green suggested a LinkedData in Ruby evening. Anyone got any contacts I could chase up about sorting that out, or pointers to the kind of LinkedData stuff they'd like to hear about?</div>
<div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div><br></div><div>Muz</div><div><div><br></div><div>* No secrets really, they just want some more time to finesse their ideas and make the talk really sweeeeet.</div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">

</div>Heh... This is definitely one of our current bugbears - there's a ridiculous amount of setup and teardown involved in many of our specs, for precisely this reason. However, I'm not convinced it's a problem we've solved yet. Hopefully we'll make some progress though :-)<br>
