Organizer change
Last Tuesday was François Beausoleil last meeting as the Montreal.rb organizer. I would like to thanks him in the name of the community for what he has done during the last 3 years for us.
So, as you can understand, I am the one who will replace him. Who am I? I am Martin Provencher (@vivrass). I’ve graduated from Sherbrooke University in 2009 and I’m currently working at Yatter.
If you have anything you want to share with the community, hear about, present or propose to Montreal.rb, send me an email and it will be my pleasure to help you realize it.
