Recap of Tuesday's Meeting on Chef
Posted by jweiland, Sun May 15 08:45:00 UTC 2011
Many thanks to Kirk (not Dirk) Richey for coming down and giving an excellent talk on Chef. Kirk did a great job of breaking down the nuances and warning against the pitfalls of learning Chef. I know many of us are exploring the cloud and will make good use of Kirk's introduction to the domain of distributed systems configuration.
Just to mention some upcoming events:
- RailsConf starts tomorrow.
- Next month we'll be doing a joint meeting with Richmond Java Users Group featuring Hiro Asari on JRuby.
- In July Jeff Casmir will be doing a talk on "blowing up your Rails views".
- Our August meeting will be a social, details coming soon.
- Finally, we're going to do a panel on Ruby entrepreneurs in the central Virginia region. If you run your own consultancy, freelance, or run a startup, or used to and went back to wage slavery, you might belong on our panel. Contact us if you're interested!
