Subject: Meetup Announcement for February 28, 2013

Hi everyone,

Folks, I’ve been thinking about this for some time and have decided to organize a corporate meetup. We all are working on different projects with different technologies (e.g. mysql, postgres, mongodb) and 100% we learn something new every week. However, when someone meet a proplem that another person had not so long ago, they had to solve it from beginning. It’s good if they ask about it in a chat, but if not — quite some time gets wasted. So I got an idea to organize weekly corporate meetups where we could share knowledge and experience, invent new ideas for our (mini-)startups and just talk about technical and non-technical topics.

This Thursday (February 28, 2013) at 18:30 in big meeting room we’ll have the first meetup, where we will certanly discuss pros and cons of code reviews and discuss about ideal company and about things we wish to have in Twinslash (prepare your questions ;)). All topics are related to everyone, not only rubysts.

I imaging a format like this: short talks for 5-10 minutes and discussions. I don’t think we need exact rules. Everyone who wants to present something or share something with everyone may prepare a talk and present it. It’s even possible to announce your topic right on the meetup and improvise ;). While we don’t have a whiteboard and a projector in the meeting room, all our presentations will be verbal. I think it’s even better. Perhaps we’ll bring whiteboard from Artek room.

I wait everyone on Thursday in the big meeting room with a short presentation about a topic you’re insterested in or just with good mood.

Reply me with any ideas or suggestions for meetups. If you want someone to make a talk about something — just ask them.
