We’re doing lightning talks in the 20 slides for 20 seconds style. Speakers confirmed so far are:

  • James Adam - “Rails is not the only fruit”
  • Richard Livsey - RSpec stories

There may be more on the night, if you are interested in speaking get in touch with me directly or via the LRUG mailing list[2]. After the talks we go to the pub round the corner.

Pub time: about 8:00pm ish Pub location: The Crown Tavern[3]

For those that hate brevity there are more words, if not actual details, about the meeting on the LRUG website[4].

  • NOTE * If you think you might turn up please register with our hosts, Skills Matter, via their website[5]. We’ve had to close the doors on people who haven’t signed up because of reaching room capacity, Skills Matter can book a larger room, but only if they know enough people are coming to warrant it, and have enough notice.

See you there,

Muz
