Finding Concurrency Problems in Core Ruby Libraries by Louis Dunne - During the development of an internal deployment tool we hit the type of problem we all dread – a deadlock triggered in a core Ruby module.

*** NB: We need both your first and last names when you RSVP (because Workday will print out security badges). If your meetup profile doesn't contain both your first and last names then add your full name to this list http://bit.ly/1NFrErb ***
