Hi,

It is seems to me that there’s a handful of active Rails developers  in the Burlington area. And based on the Code Camp presentation audience, there’s also a potential of about a dozen of people who have interest to learn more about this technology.

Do we want to make an effort to restart regular meetings (may be semi-monthly)?

Also, Dan Coutu, that came to the Rails presentation last Saturday, mentioned an idea of virtual meetings. He lives in the  north-east of Vermont and would not be able to come otherwise. I do not have a ready solution, but it seems to me that Skype video for conference calls and some form of desktop sharing for presenter is available and we could piece this together, if it would create much more traction than meeting in person.

Looking forward to your comments!

It has been soooo quiet here for soooo much time, that when Julie Lerman offered me a slot at the upcoming Vermont Code Camp, I gladly jumped on-board. So if anybody wanted to have a Ruby On Rails related talk, the chance is right here. I will be glad to talk and answer questions during the presentation or after it.

I am also planning to post here all files I will use for the presentation. Please check back after the the camp to download them.

Now, the camp is at UVM-Business School: Burlington VT on September the 12th, from 9am till 6pm. I do not have the exact time of presentation yet. The presentation is scheduled for 9am slot at Room 3.

There is a 10% early bird discount till April the 10th and the additional discount through the UG code mentioned earlier. Registration form

And in case you want to go but need another reason, the user group discount code for this year is “rc08usrg” and is good for 15% off the registration price.

We are going to have a User Group meeting on Sept 12 at 6 PM. The meeting is at Draker Solar Design, 22 North Street,Burlington, Vermont 05401.

Hope to see you there.

We are going to have a User Group meeting on Sept 12 at 6 PM. The meeting is at Draker Solar Design, 22 North Street,Burlington, Vermont 05401.

Need to put your code into Subversion so it can be deployed using Capistrano. I’ll show you how to do that using the RadRails/aptana IDE and a bit of the command line on a PC using Instant Rails.

Need to select a host. Should it be shared, virtual or dedicated? What hosting service do you want to use? Do you want to do it in-house? How do you decide?

Depending upon the host, should you freeze the gems? Are there other things that should be done before the first deploy? (What about the passwords in the production log file?)

Production chores include daily (or more often) backup and rotating log files. How to use CRON to help with these chores.

Looking forward to seeing everyone.

Cheers,

Jan Schultz (jschultz@agrefresh.org)

One of the things that were brought up at the meeting was the problem with writing posts and comments on the site. I took some time to check on it’s settings and happy to say that everything is operational now. Please shoot me an email at [sergei] @at@ [redleafsoft_dot_com] if you are still having problems.

Which is tomorrow.

I will have some Rails books with me to show and talk about, so, that would be a good way to spot us.

See you there!

Hi! Since we have not gotten much of a response, Jan and myself decided to pick a date about two weeks in advance so everybody can make it.

We picked Pub and Brewery for the meeting, for it’s friendly atmosphere, location and good tasting beer. The plan is to meet everybody in person and shake hands and see what topics are attracting most of the interest.

We are going to raffle Rails Cookbook we received from O’Reilly.

See everybody there!
