Social Event
=========

This month's Burlington, VT PHP Users Group meeting will be a casual
get-together instead of a formal meeting and presentation. We'd like
to extend a special invitation to other technology and user groups to
join us for this social event. So, if you're from the Vermont.NET User
Group, the Vermont Ruby On Rails User Group, the Vermont Area Group of
Unix Enthusiasts (VAGUE), the Green Mountain Oracle Users Group, the
New England Adobe User Group, the VT SQL Server Users Group, the
Vermont Software Developers' Alliance (vtSDA), or any other technology
or user group in the area then we'd love to see you there!

Meetings are open to the public via RSVP. Please be sure to be there
as close to 6pm as possible to assure that our group can get tables
together. You can register here:

Do we want to meet in the next month or so?

Hi,

It is seems to me that there’s a handful of active Rails developers in the Burlington area. And based on the Code Camp presentation audience, there’s also a potential of about a dozen of people who have interest to learn more about this technology.

Do we want to make an effort to restart regular meetings (may be semi-monthly)?

Also, Dan Coutu, that came to the Rails presentation last Saturday, mentioned an idea of virtual meetings. He lives in the north-east of Vermont and would not be able to come otherwise. I do not have a ready solution, but it seems to me that Skype video for conference calls and some form of desktop sharing for presenter is available and we could piece this together, if it would create much more traction than meeting in person.

Looking forward to your comments!

Presenting at Vermont Code Camp

Sergei Serdyuk — Thu, 20 Aug 2009 15:48:51 +0000

It has been soooo quiet here for soooo much time, that when Julie Lerman offered me a slot at the upcoming Vermont Code Camp, I gladly jumped on-board. So if anybody wanted to have a Ruby On Rails related talk, the chance is right here. I will be glad to talk and answer questions during the presentation or after it.

I am also planning to post here all files I will use for the presentation. Please check back after the the camp to download them.

Now, the camp is at UVM-Business School: Burlington VT on September the 12th, from 9am till 6pm. I do not have the exact time of presentation yet. The presentation is scheduled for 9am slot at Room 3.

I just finished this killer Rails app, now I need to deploy it?

Jan — Sat, 01 Sep 2007 14:19:27 +0000

We are going to have a User Group meeting on Sept 12 at 6 PM. The meeting is at Draker Solar Design, 22 North Street,Burlington, Vermont 05401.

Need to put your code into Subversion so it can be deployed using Capistrano. I’ll show you how to do that using the RadRails/aptana IDE and a bit of the command line on a PC using Instant Rails.

Need to select a host. Should it be shared, virtual or dedicated? What hosting service do you want to use? Do you want to do it in-house? How do you decide?

Depending upon the host, should you freeze the gems? Are there other things that should be done before the first deploy? (What about the passwords in the production log file?)

Production chores include daily (or more often) backup and rotating log files. How to use CRON to help with these chores.

Looking forward to seeing everyone.

Cheers,

Jan Schultz (jschultz@agrefresh.org)

Wordpress issues resolved. Happy writing everybody!

One of the things that were brought up at the meeting was the problem with writing posts and comments on the site. I took some time to check on it’s settings and happy to say that everything is operational now. Please shoot me an email at [sergei] @at@ [redleafsoft_dot_com] if you are still having problems.

!Reminder! – Meeting – July 25th at 6:00pm – Pub and Brewery in Burlington Downtown

Sergei Serdyuk — Tue, 24 Jul 2007 06:16:06 +0000

Which is tomorrow.

I will have some Rails books with me to show and talk about, so, that would be a good way to spot us.

See you there!

Meeting – July 25th at 6:00pm – Pub and Brewery in Burlington Downtown

Sergei Serdyuk — Sun, 15 Jul 2007 19:05:12 +0000

Hi! Since we have not gotten much of a response, Jan and myself decided to pick a date about two weeks in advance so everybody can make it.

We picked Pub and Brewery for the meeting, for it’s friendly atmosphere, location and good tasting beer. The plan is to meet everybody in person and shake hands and see what topics are attracting most of the interest.

We are going to raffle Rails Cookbook we received from O’Reilly.

See everybody there!
