Montreal on Rails

After a little break, MoR is coming back! The next event will be held on May 20. Wanna come? Please RSVP.

This month, we’re trying a different format: less talk, more booze (this could be dangerous).

We’ll start with a presentation by Francois Beausoleil entitled “Refactoring to Patterns: How Mephisto went from a single engine Lada to a multi-engine jet fighter”. Francois said he’ll need a few volunteers to help out.

Then, instead of the usual pizza and more talks, we’ll all go grab a bite and drink a cold one somewhere. This is your chance to talk Ruby with other nerds.

So the question is, where should we go eat? I don’t know Montreal very well so I need your help on this one. Please comment with your suggestions. cheers!

Hola! First of all, thanks to our presenters from our last meet-up. I had to leave early and didn’t see them, but I heard good things. Congrats!

I’ll be in California for most of April and I thought… I can either ask someone to organize the next meeting, or take a month off. I asked a few buddies what they thought and came to the conclusion that we should just take a little break and hold the next meeting in May.

Last month’s attendance was a little lower than usual; I think some people are getting a little bit tired of the format. I know I am.  In my opinion, Mor is starting to get a little to repetitive and we don’t have enough time to chit-chat. I asked around and people seem to be most interested in:

• less presentation
• more schmoozing
• more boozing
• less Domino’s

I suggest we turn the whole thing around and change the format. In order to do it right, I need your feedback. Tell me what you like/hate about MoR and we’ll fix it.

Here’s what I suggest:

• 1 “long” talk, as we know it (30-40 mins)
• 2 “short” talk, 5-15 mins max
• then we all go eat/drink somewhere. (no more Domino’s, please!)

Unless you’re totally offended by taking a month off, our next meeting will be on May 20.

Please comment with for your feedback!

Thoughts? Ideas? Complains?

Just a quick reminder, MoR is tomorrow night.  Please RSVP if you’re coming,
