Come Geek Out with us (again)!

Christian Nelson ·

The last Geek Out was both fun and informative. It’s time to do it again!

So, next Thursday — 11/11 — we’re opening the doors to the San Francisco office and hosting another casual gathering. Want to see what other developers are working on or who’s using the latest and greatest gem/practice/database/etc? Do you have a side project or open source framework that you’re contributing to (or just using) that you want to show off, lightning-talk style? Want to network with other rubyists?

Current lightning talk topics (more to come!):

  • Puppet in Ruby projects – Richard [slides]
  • Memcached and Dali – Mike
  • Testing iOS apps with Frank – Pete [slides]
  • Testing iOS apps with Cedar – Adam
  • Event Mapper: adventures with Rails3, geokit-rails and jquery-mobile – Jon [slides]

We’ll have a room with a projector dedicated to lightning talks and the rest of the space will be free for socializing and networking. We’ll supply beer and food. Doors open at 5:30, talks start at 6:30, and we’ll stick around until 7:30. If people are still hanging out we’ll migrate elsewhere for more drinks. Carbon Five is located at 171 2nd Street Floor 4 (map), above the Tempura House.

Please RSVP on the meetup event page. If you want to give a lightning talk, email me (christian at carbonfive dot com) with your idea.
