Meetup August + ConFoo
I’m a little bit late this month, but I would like to start by thanking Julien Guimont and Alain Pilon for their presentations. It was very interesting and I’m sure a lot of us will try what they show us. I have a lot of news today.
Our next meetup will be on August 16. I still search 2 talkers for this event. It’s a great experience to go on the stage and show something you already experienced.
The ConFoo BBQ will occur August 6th. Come and talk with the other Web communities in Montreal. Food, beers and it’s free, you can’t miss that.
The Call For Paper is also open for ConFoo until September 2nd. Help us create the biggest web conference in Montreal with a great Ruby track. This year, you can also vote for the talks you find the most interesting. If you want to help more, I search someone to help me organize the Ruby track of the event.
Starting of September, I’ll try to have sponsors for our events. I’m searching companies that would be interested in buying a second round of beer at the Benelux and would like to help us create t-shirt for Montreal.rb. It’s a great way to find employees and make your company known by the Ruby community in Montreal. If you know any company that would be interested, put me in contact with them.
