So far we have 3 confirmed volunteers:</div><div><br></div><div>* “Ruby on the Big Screen” - Steve Butterworth is going to show us ruby powering giant LED screens using in golf championships</div><div>* “Re-interpreting Data” - Murray Steele is going to show us how to change the type of a file and see or hear what’s going on in them</div><div>* “Ruby’s a critic” - Nuno Silva is going to show us how to get ruby giving you code quality reports like codeclimate, from the comfort of your own CI</div><div><br></div><div>We’re waiting for a couple of other volunteers to confirm, but there’s still space for you to show off something you’ve been doing with ruby that’s a bit out of the ordinary. It’d be enough to just show us some code and what it does for 5 minutes, no need for slides or anything more complicated! Get in touch with us on <a href="mailto:talks@lrug.org" target="_blank">talks@lrug.org</a> if you want a slot.</div><div><br></div><div>Not content with providing us a venue to host our meeting, GoCardless are also providing some food and drink for us too. Many thanks to them for being so nice.</div><div><br></div><div>More details on the volunteers, the venue, and everything January 2020 LRUG meeting related can be found at <a href="http://lrug.org/meetings/2020/january/" target="_blank">http://lrug.org/meetings/2020/january/</a></div><div><br></div><div>If you want to come you should:</div><div><br></div><div>1.

This event has always been great fun and well attended and we hope the one in 2020 will be the same. The night is devoted to talks of no more than 10 minutes, and because we’ll have time to fit a lot of them in we tend to have a wide range of topics - all things of interest to Rubyists but not always about Ruby! Have a look at this year's line-up (<a href="http://lrug.org/meetings/2019/february/" target="_blank">http://lrug.org/meetings/2019/february/</a>) for inspiration. Get in touch with us at <a href="mailto:talks@lrug.org" target="_blank">talks@lrug.org</a> if you'd like to speak at this event.</div><div><br></div><div>See you in 2020!</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div><br></div><div>Murray & the rest of LRUG the organising team</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
