ChicagoRuby: Downtown - Lightning Talks

What are you doing? Specifically, what are you doing with Ruby? If you're ready to talk about it, then come on out and do a Lightning Talk!

Our 4/6/2010 meeting will feature a series of quick 5-minute presentations on Ruby, Rails, and related technologies. If you'd like to be on the agenda, send an email to organizers [at] chicagoruby [dot] org. Give us a title and a short description, and your name will be in lights!

Please use your real name when you RSVP for downtown ChicagoRuby meetings. Reason: We are required to give a list of all attendees to the security desk prior to the meeting. If the name on your ID doesn't the match the name on the RSVP list, then Aon security (https://www.cuberick.com/2008/12/history-of-security-at-aon-center.html) will not let you in the building. Sorry for the inconvenience, but those are the rules of the Aon Building.
