[sf-perl] _Ruby_ Beer & Pizza SIG; 8 pm, 10/26, San Francisco, CA, USA (fwd)

[Jennifer Davis]

Hey folks,

I wanted to pass this on as Michael Halligan pointed me out to the great 
software that is Puppet http://reductivelabs.com/projects/puppet, which is 
a GPLed configuration management solution written in Ruby.  The author has 
significant experience using cfengine.  So take a look at Puppet.  Perhaps 
like me you don't have experience with Ruby, and connecting with some 
Ruby-ers to get a better grip on the language would be helpful.  Puppet 
looks pretty interesting.

Jennifer

     USA

[last-minute try for RSVPs! -r]


In the spirit of Bay Area Debian's "SHOTGUN RULES FOR BAD MEETINGS"
(http://bad.debian.net/shotgun_rules.txt), I am calling yet another
meeting of the Bay Area Ruby Beer & Pizza SIG.  No program; just a
way for folks to get together and chat about Ruby, Rails, etc.

Note: Ruby appeals to a broad spectrum of programmers.  Your dinner
companions may speak any of a variety of languages, including C++,
Perl, PHP, Python, Scheme, and Smalltalk.  At the same time, they
may well be struggling to learn about Rails, Ruby, SQL, etc.  So,
expect diversity...

At the last meeting, several folks brought laptops.  Given that the
upcoming venue has free wifi, this seems even more appropriate!  In
fact, the restaurant has promised to provide a power outlet near the
table, so if anyone can bring a largish LCD monitor, let me know!


Beer and Pizza SIG

           RSVP:     An RSVP would be appreciated, so that I can tell
                     the restaurant folks what to expect.  OTOH, feel
                     free to just show up and look for a sign. :)

           Date:     Wednesday, October 26, 2005

           Time:     8:00 p.m.

           Place:    South Beach Cafe, 800 The Embarcadero
                     (just past the end of Townsend, at King)
                     San Francisco, California, USA

http://local.google.com/local?output=html&q=%22South+Beach+Cafe%22&btnG=Search&latlng=37630556,-122410000,10934445030027146126

           Food:     Cafe, Italian Trattoria, Pizzeria; free wifi

           Parking:  Unless there's a monster baseball game, parking should
                     be no problem after 6 pm.

           BART:     Be prepared for a bit of a crowd, as this is the end of
           the prime commute time. Get off at the Embarcadero station. Within
           the station, exit BART, enter MUNI, and catch the N (inbound).
           Get off at the train station.

           Caltrain: (Don't take Caltrain if you can avoid it. Trains run back
           at 10:00 p.m. and 11:59 p.m. only!)

           From the train station, walk Northeast on King to the restaurant.

P.S.  The Delancey Street Restaurant is nearby and also worth considering
          for a special (read, nice but slightly pricy) venue.
