About

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.

Meetings

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.

Mailing List / Google Group

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.

Video

Videos of previous presentations, provided courtesy of EdgeCase UK, are available here.

IRC group

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.

Sponsors

Free Agent Central pick up the bill for our meetings.

EdgeCase UK sponsor the meeting videos.

Edinburgh June Meeting - Martin Rehfeld from Berlin RUG

posted 02 Jun 2011

The June meeting is going to be a bit special – the first in a new European Speaker Exchange Programme masterminded by the Berlin Ruby User Group. Martin Rehfeld will be talking about the lessons learned developing his new service Assets.io featuring dynamic Javascript and CSS delivery through the Amazon Cloudfront CDN. Other parts include a custom backend using evented Ruby code (Thin/Async Rack/Eventmachine). It promises to be an exciting meeting, and in due course we’ll be catapulting one of our own speakers over the North Sea to Berlin. Martin will be in Edinburgh from June 14 to June 17, so let’s all make him welcome.

We will be at the usual place, The Edinburgh Training Centre on Thursday 16 June.

The speaker exchange programme is looking for some sponsorship, particularly to cover Martin’s cost. If your company can help, get in touch via the Google Group or email paul [{at}] edgecase.com.
