April 2013 - Clojure Users Group Meetup

Marianne Bellotti (https://twitter.com/bellmar) will describe how she is using Clojure to build Exversion, a data startup that is trying to become the Github of data, with version control, peer review, and monitoring tools that enable easy data cleanup and collaboration. A quote from Marianne: "I was particularly interested in learning as much as possible from what Alex Osborne did with his Widefinder solution (http://meshy.org/2009/12/13/widefinder-2-with-clojure.html) and I'd definitely like to pick the brain of the group in terms of further optimization"

Jon Distad (https://twitter.com/jondistad) will demo "a clojure-based templating ..thing... a la ERB." He is calling it Turtle. A quote from Jon: "At the moment... I'm not sure it will even work, though it's possible I could present on why it doesn't."
