I've posted the rather incomplete account of my year 2009 on my new blog:

My 2009...

And BTW, Now this is my Tech blog. Prabhasara.com is my poetry/arts blog. And my new miniblog is my generic blog. :) I also have microblogs too, you know. ;)

In case you don't choose to see it on the other side,...

Wish you all a very happy new year 2010!

The October meetup of Lanka Ruby User Group was help on 28 October evening. This month also Sameera organized the meetup at Ridgecrest Asia premise with the backing of Sanath (their CEO).

As usual we went with the two technical sessions setup where Sameera took the first session. Unfortunately I could not make it to the first session. However people who were available claim that it was great. Anyone interested can see the slides from Sameeras presentation at Slideshare. The topic was "Agile Software Development with Scrum" by the way.

My session was named "Ruby beyond Rails". It talked about why most of us came for Rails and stayed for Ruby. My aim was to give an introductory background about various Ruby related projects. The session was much generic, but I believe it paved the way for more technical and/or hands on sessions in future.

So here's the slides:

If you have a Slideshare account you can log in and grab the PDF file.


Update: Thanks to the guys at SinhalenFOSS podcast for the mention about the Ruby User Group. We couldn't make it to the last recording session, but we'd love to be there in a future session.
