Seattle.rb meeting tonight (4/31) at 7PM PST

I'm posting this here just in case anyone's in the greater Seattle
area (close enough to drive/bus/boat in for a meeting).

The Seattle Ruby Brigade will be meeting tonight (4/31) at 7PM in the
Omni development offices (see www.zenspider.com/Seattle.rb for more
info and directions). There will be presentations about Ruby2C and
r43 (a library implementing the 43 Things web services API). We'll
also be doing a hands-on advanced Rails demo (we'll be
building/extending a cemetary directory application.

If you're around, we'd love to see you there.

Sounds like this project was DOA ;-)

Actually, I hope that this will be somewhat useful. the GenWeb
project has been doing cemetary surveys for a while, but they don't
have a good way of storing/searching the information. (They just dump
their data into text files that are stored willy-nilly all over the
'Net.) This app will store the transcription of the headstone, an
optional picture, and some metadata; allow searching within or among
cemetaries by name, date, geography, etc.; and provide a convenient
data entry interface. (We'll see how much gets done during the
meeting.)

Also, there is a very good chance that we'll get Chad Fowler at the
meeting, so we really should discuss our ruby hackfest grant for
rubygems with him and get things solidified. He has even hinted that he
might "find himself in seattle" when our hackfest goes down. That would
rule.
