Meeting
Allow some Ruby knowledge to be laid upon you.
This month, Greg Brown will be presenting "Ruby Craftsmanship":
Ruby as a language is special because it knows how to get out of our way and let us focus on our problem domain. But how do we move beyond raw technical understanding to actually improve our craft? This talk will focus on some techniques that help, and maybe debunk a few myths along the way.
As is now tradition, we will also meetup afterwards at Cambridge Brewing Company.

Hackfest
Bring a laptop and something to hack on, or at least some ideas. Beer will be on hand. Food will be handled ad-hoc. We'll see how many people we have, and order food accordingly. Donations gladly accepted.
