It’s on Monday 12th February from 6:30pm (doors at 6pm) until 8pm. We’re being hosted by Funding Circle in their offices near Bank tube station on Queen Victoria Street.</div><div><br></div><div>As ever, February is our annual lightning talks evening where all the talks are no more than 10 minutes long. So far we have 4 talks lined up for you:</div><div><br></div><div><div>* "Data pagination for jekyll-paginate-v2” by Jay Caines-Gooby</div><div>* "Using devcontainers with Ruby” by Jonathan James</div><div>* "Contract testing between Ruby applications” by Katya Essina & Sarah O’Grady</div><div>* "What is ruby really capable of?” by fell sunderland</div></div><div><br></div><div>You can find more info on these talks at <a href="https://lrug.org/meetings/2024/february/" target="_blank">https://lrug.org/meetings/2024/february/</a> where you'll also find full venue and registration details.</div><div><br></div><div>The keen number crunchers among you will have worked out that four 10 minute talks won’t fill the 90 minutes we have for the meeting. So, yes, we’re still looking for more talks, and that could be you and three of your friends!</div><div><br></div><div>If you’re stuck for ideas there’s plenty of things you could spend the tnext couple of weeks investigating to report back in 10 minutes. How about:</div><div><br></div><div>1. What’s new in rails 7.1</div><div>2. What’s new in ruby 3.3</div><div>3. What were your highlights from conference talks in 2023</div><div>4. Tips and tricks for your favourite dev tools</div><div><br></div><div>All of these would be interesting, but I’m sure you have your own ideas. Come tell us about them: <a href="mailto:talks@lrug.org" target="_blank">talks@lrug.org</a>. Also, consider talking this over with your peers and colleagues and seeing if they have ideas worth sharing (then you can steal those ideas and present them as your own).</div><div><br></div><div>Space is limited so please do register to attend via eventbrite: <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/london-ruby-user-group-february-2024-meeting-tickets-699978242767" target="_blank">https://www.eventbrite.com/e/london-ruby-user-group-february-2024-meeting-tickets-699978242767</a> (which ask you to confirm that you’ve read the code of conduct at <a href="https://readme.lrug.org/#code-of-conduct" target="_blank">https://readme.lrug.org/#code-of-conduct</a>, obviously)</div><div><br></div><div>Note: because of eventbrite pricing shenanigans the event is capped at 75, but there’s more space than that, so if you end up on the waiting list we’ll do our best to accomodate you in first-come first-served order up to the actual capacity.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div><br></div><div>Murray & the rest of the organising team</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
