Ruby: Not Just for Web Development - Keith Bennet (https://www.meetup.com/DevOpsDC/members/6766987/) - Although the Ruby language and the Ruby on Rails web development framework seem to be inseparable in the public eye, Ruby is an outstanding general purpose programming language in its own right, and has features that make it an excellent choice for system administration tasks.

After an introduction to the Ruby language, we'll look at a few lines of Ruby code that extract values from a WordPress configuration file and automate the backup of a WordPress blog. Test-driven ops at Brewster - Ric Lister (https://www.meetup.com/DevOpsDC/members/7481482/) - How the devops team at brewster.com (http://brewster.com/) uses Ruby to test their stuff. Featuring Auger (https://github.com/brewster/auger) and Front-End Loader (https://github.com/brewster/front_end_loader). Stay tuned for more...one or two additional presentations are in the works. Maybe even yours! Please tweet to @pburkholder if you have trouble finding us or getting in....
