Hi everyone, I know a lot of Melbourne rubyists were interested in OpenTechSchool after Roro, but I had to leave straight away and missed a few of you. We have a coaches meetup this Friday, 6:30pm at Electron Workshop in North Melbourne. So if you would like to learn some more about coaching, ask some questions and see what it is like then drop in!
