Social: Thursday April 22nd

We'll be participating in Rochester's A Litter Bit Better campaign by helping to clean up section 346 of Bear Creek Park. 6:30 pm start, meet at the south end of the McQuillin Field parking lot, more details can be found here. Bring your own gloves, and anyone interested in geocaching the park can do both at the same time (plan is to get a few FTF options out of there to encourage the geocachers). Since we're participating in LBB, the City provides the empty trash bags, picks up the full bags, and covers the disposal costs.


Technical Meeting: Thursday May 13th

The featured speakers this month are José de Leon of Winona State University and Bonnie Gabrick, a Winona State University student in Management Information Systems. They will talk about iPhone web development with the rapid web-development framework Ruby on Rails. Bonnie and José worked on a database-backed site in Rails, describing the technology inventory in each classroom at Winona State, and developed a mobile version of the website that exists alongside the default site. Like Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, two cool technologies that go great together!

Planned Social: May TBD

Ideas can be found here or invent your own. What would you like to do? Tell Tina.

Upcoming Meeting Crisis!

Well, not really a crisis, but we do need some meeting topics (& speakers) for 2010. We'd like to know what you want to see and hear about. Please email Tina or Tim with suggestions for topics. Should we run some previous sessions again (maybe something you really wanted to see but missed out on)? What type of topics are good, what type are bad? Also see this page for a list of suggested topics http://www.k-lug.org/Meetings
