The Scottish Ruby User Group is a collection of people who are linked with Scotland and have an interest in Ruby and, invariably, Ruby on Rails. We meet every month for presentations from members and guests and a chat about Ruby and Ruby Related events. Everybody is welcome and there are no subscriptions/costs involved.
We meet on the third Thursday of the month at 19:30 onwards, at the FreeAgent Central offices: 40 Torphichen Street, Edinburgh, EH3 8JB, near Haymarket Station.
You can subscribe to the mailing list using the ScotRUG Google Group information page. The list is for announcements of ScotRUG activities and general support/discussion about Ruby (and Ruby on Rails!). Feel free to post any questions you have; we’re an open and friendly community. As of the last time I checked, the mailing list has around 75 members.
Videos of previous presentations, provided courtesy of EdgeCase UK, are available here.
We now also have an IRC channel available. It’s pretty quiet at the
moment, but I’m sure we’ll pick up a number of idlers now that it’s
been announced. You can find us on irc.freenode.net in #scotrug.
Ruby Golf is going the rounds of a few user groups. During the Edinburgh May meeting, we will jump on the band wagon for a 9-hole round. The aim will be to complete the 9 hole course, laid out in RSpec, in as few characters as possible.
If you can’t bring a laptop, don’t worry we’ll be working in teams.
We will be at the usual place, The Edinburgh Training Centre on Thursday 19 May.
