If you have a Ruby talk idea you would like to present at a future Montreal.rb meetup, please contact one of the organizers (Andy Maleh) to get your talk scheduled in an available future meetup month. Note that speakers must present in-person in Montreal because the goal of the meetup is to encourage more in-person networking and socialization around Ruby Software Engineering topics with maximum communication bandwidth. Talks are recorded and posted on the @montreal-rb YouTube Channel if talk speakers agree.
