Second SF Ruby on Rails Meetup w/ Scott Chacon from GitHub
Details
Have a great meeting lined up. Location will be either in SOMA or downtown. Still working on a speaker to talk nuts-and-bolts RoR issues but have a great speaker from GitHub coming in to talk all things git.
Speaker Bios:
Scott Chacon
VP of Research and Development of GitHub
Scott is a one of the first engineers hired at GitHub and has been instrumental in making GitHub the force on the Internet for posting and sharing code and managing development.
He is a developer at heart who has done everything from design, layout, coding, usability testing, automated testing, and server administration. He is a big MySQL user and has lots of experience in PHP but has much love for Ruby on Rails.
He will speak about practical things around GitHub including how to make programming funner, faster, and more collaborative. He’ll also talk about the patterns and trends they’re seeing and what they mean for the software industry in the years to come.
Upcoming Speakers:
We have speakers from Justin.tv, New Relic, O'Reilly Media, and MongoDB lined up for future meetings. Suggestions of other speakers/companies certainly welcome.
