That’s where you come in, we hope. We’re looking for short (up to 10 minutes), medium (upto 25 minutes) or long (up to 40 minutes) talks on something ruby or ruby-adjacent. If you program in ruby, and you think it’s interesting, chances are most of our attendees would too. For example there were a couple of people last month thinking about giving talks on the new JS ecosystem that Rails 7 will expose us to. It’s not ruby, but it is ruby-adjacent. </div><div><br></div><div>We also don’t expect that our speakers are experts in their topics. It might be that you’ve just dug into something and wanted to share your first impressions, or you want to talk about something you find confusing to start a discussion about it and get tips. Or maybe you want to share that you were daunted by something and actually it wasn’t that complex once you dug into it and you want to share that experience too. We love hearing freshing perspectives on our tools, and we’re more than happy to help you shape an idea into a talk, we’d even run a rehearsal with you if you wanted.</div><div><br></div><div>Anyway please volunteer something - we’d love to hear from you! And do spread the word to your colleauges, friends, family, acquaintances that we’re looking. Heck, at this point we’d probably even be happy for you to spread the word to your enemies too.</div><div><br></div><div>We’ll post the registration page on eventbrite and meeting details on <a href="http://lrug.org" target="_blank">lrug.org</a> shortly, but hope to be able to do so with at least one talk on the agenda before we do. Could you be our saviour?</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div><br></div><div>Murray & the rest of the LRUG organising team</div></div>
