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.

October meeting - Thursday 20 October 2011

posted 19 Oct 2011

October’s meeeting is a mixed bag of short presentations:

  • Mark Connell’s impressions from the 2011 RubyConf in New Orleans
  • Paul Wilson’s further impressions from RubyConf and MagRails
  • Matt Wynne on the training wheels coming off cucumber

Do not forget that we’ll be meeting at the brand new venue of FreeAgent’s new digs, 40 Torphichen Street, Edinburgh, EH3 8JB, It is in the glass-fronted building on the right hand side of the road, just before the sharp bend if you are walking away from Haymarket. See the snapshot on Google Maps here. There is no FreeAgent signage, but there is a big 40 on the glass.
