Hi everyone! We had a great turnout at the general meeting on Sunday at Rails Camp - lots of discussion about all of the items that were on the agenda (and some that weren't!)
If you couldn't make it, or attended and want a recap of what happened, the minutes for the meeting are available for your perusal here: http://ruby.org.au/general_meetings/2015-12-13.html Huge thanks go out to Ryan Bigg for recording the minutes so efficiently - they wouldn't be available so quickly otherwise! If there are any issues with the minutes as they were recorded, please let me know and I'll get them rectified. cheers, Rebecca Skinner Incoming Ruby Australia secretary On behalf of Ruby Australia On Tuesday, November 24, 2015 at 6:26:21 PM UTC+8, Mikel wrote: > > Hello everyone > > As per usual, there will be an Annual General Meeting for Ruby Australia > at the upcoming Rails Camp in Canberra, on Sunday the 13th of December > 2015.
