July DCRUG: Ruby Text Classifier & DevOps Adventure

Our meetings are open to all experience levels, from total novices to expert Rubyists.

Current agenda:

• Brian Muller will talk about a text classifier in Ruby that uses Hadoop/HBase, Mongo, or Cassandra for storage.

• Nathen Harvey will talk about "something cool and DevOps related". It's a veritable choose-your-own-adventure of DevOps awesomeness :) Guaranteed to be fun!

We now meet monthly at Logik's new headquaters, now located at 1400 I (Eye) Street NW, Suite 800 Washington, DC 20005. The closest Metro stop is McPherson Square. If you're downstairs and need someone to let you into the building or the elevator, please give me a call at 202-374-7303 or tweet me at @naffis.

We always need presenters, so if you have a topic or project on which you'd like to do a 30-minute presentation on anything Ruby-related, Rails-related or possibly of interest to Ruby developers, please contact our organizers info@dcrug.org and we'll schedule you to speak. If you have presented before, you are welcome to give a presentation on a new topic. This is a great chance for some of you guys and gals lingering in the back of the room to share some of the cool things you are working on. Don't be shy -- you're among fellow geeks. :)

As always, we'll have an ample supply of free pizza and soda for all attendees, so don't worry about eating dinner beforehand.

And we'll be heading to a nearby bar after the meeting, to unwind and socialize with fellow techies.
