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.

November meeting - Thursday 17 November 2011

posted 10 Nov 2011

November started on a Wednesday, so this month’s meeting comes earlier than expected. This month we have two talks

  • Brian Swan will be giving us his take on Rails tests. Expect controversy and challenges to the new orthodoxies.
  • Thomas Haggett will be talking about how he has successfully used Puppet and MCollective at FreeAgent, with patterns and suggestions to take away.

Don’t forget that the meetin is in our new venue, the wonderful FreeAgent offices. See the October post for detailed directions.

Updated 15 Nov 2011: added Thomas’ talk.
