Thanks Marty. I added a RSVP page for the event at http://gathers.us/events/boulder-ruby-group-october-meeting
Having the ability to RSVP for the event helps me in making sure I make it to the event :-) If more people find it useful, it could be one of the features for the new Boulder Ruby Website. ~Prakash On Tue, Oct 9, 2012 at 10:53 AM, Marty Haught <[email protected]> wrote: > Boulder Ruby will have two meetings in October, our first being on the > 16th.
