[ALUG] November meetup

[loserian saiterie]

Dear Colleagues
Thanks all key players for making our evening an interesting and enjoyable.
It was real interesting sharing experience from our rail and ruby on rails guru Mr Zachariah.
Thanks for the venue for sure it was real a conducive place for the session.

Hope we will inform many more interested to attend as it will contribute much to the group where at one time will help us in devising solutions to problems facing our community. 

Thanks all key players and lets maintain the spirit

kindest regards

Loserian

Thanks once again to KITEC for hosting us, the warm hospitality and the refreshments.

Thanks also to Zachariah for an engaging and interesting introduction into Ruby and Ruby on Rails. It was great that it not only covered the topic but also general good practices that programmers of all languages should be using like version control (with git), separation of concerns when creating a program, and the importance of testing.

For those who expected a remote connection, I'm sorry. I actually saw the message too late and at the beginning of the session we actually didn't have wifi access; the signal did not reach the room. After Miku arrived we were able to sort that our together with bandwidth but by then we were already underway.

I was the one who checked out the venue before hand so I should have checked to ensure Wifi access. My apologies. The session, while exciting, did run over time which did not allow us time to discuss the topic for the next session, streaming options, and any other business. Considering these two and the experience of the past couple of sessions I think we could use just a little bit more structure. I am thinking of the following:

1. A venue checklist that would allow anyone checking out a potential venue to be sure it will suit our needs;
2. A structured timetable for a session taking into account the presentation, discussion of the presentation, and any other business;
3. We need a better way to inform new participants coming to a session. For example the good folks at KITEC who attended the session did not have ruby installed since they were not privy to this forum.

I'll think about these a bit more and post them in a separate thread where you can also add your comments. All in all it was a fun and engaging evening, and thanks to Godlisten (am I spelling it right?) of KITEC for being excited with us all the way to the end. We are still rough around the edges but we'll continually refine the process.
