We’ll be changing our meeting format in July. It’s been a bit challenging to line up 2 talks each meeting. The 6:30pm time has been a tight for some of us. To make it easier we’re going to move to a 7pm start time and have only one presentation per meeting. We’ll start off with socializing and hacking for the first 30 minutes of the meeting. We’ll do announcements and then move to the presentations. Afterward, we’ll hold time for questions and discussion before quitting. As usual, many of us will head out to a local pub for some drinks and chatting.

Collective Intellect, our gracious host, has moved locations. They’ve moved back to the 1400 block of Pearl in Google’s old space. Starting in July our meetings will be held there. You can read more on the directions here

Finally, our lovely site has a calendar page. It’s been a long time in the making but I’ve finally put together enough free time to get it all done as well as release the Radiant extension that makes it possible. You’ll notice the Calendar link in the navigation bar. On that page you’ll find a monthly calendar that will display our monthly meetings. You can navigation to prior or future months as well.
If you want to read more about the extension, visit the post on my blog.

Several conflicts have popped up for our May meeting that we will be canceling the meeting. Collective Intellect, who host the meeting, have an event that night. Additionally, I also have a conflict and while that usually won’t stop the meeting it did mean that I’d have someone else run the meeting. We also moved it to the following week but that’s the day before RailsConf and that’s no good for many of us with travel plans that night. We’ll move the planned presentations to June’s meeting.

One of our member’s, Tony Arcieri, spoke about his newly released Revactor gem at our February meeting. This is a very cool concurrent Ruby library for writing network services. Give Tony props for putting together an impressive framework with such a small footprint.
