Recruiter-- but I don't want to intrude - Jeff Newman

Tue, 08 Jun 2010 09:25:25 -0500

Hi! Yes, I am a head hunter, one step above used car salesman, still beneath real estate agent... I am also an avid gamer, internet user, etc etc, so I know what it is like when spammers enter my personal space. (My latest thing is Fallen Earth MMO in case you are interested)... Anyway, I do have a Ruby spot in Kansas City, which has been open awhile, so you probably already heard about it, but I wanted to reach out to places I haven't been. Would it be OK if I posted the role here? If not, do you have a place you would recommend? Thanks so much! Jeff

A bit more history (including the beginnings of the mailing list)

We're listed as "OverlandParkGroup" at
web link . Is oprug.org
available? Is opksrug.* preferable?

Yes: OPKSRUG, KCRUG, OPRUG anything is fine with me. "Six of One, Half Dozen of Another".
If I was forced to pick just one of the three, I would probably go for KCRUG.

The first meeting I attended was in May 2004. It was held at the 151st Johnson County public library. Mark Slagell from Iowa State University was in town and he agreed to show some tools for generating reports in PostScript.

1. printraw.exe can be found at
web link

2. postscript library at
web link

Back then, the group consisted of Jason Clinton, Shashank Date (the two founders) and Craig Cottingham. I think I was the fourth to "join."

Joining at that time meant hitting Reply All to an email since I don't think Jason had set up his mail server yet! It was easy to get left off threads!

The group had been meeting for some time then. They originally met at the Ruby Tuesday (now gone) by Oak Park Mall. I never made it to any of those meetings.

Nobody has spoken up, so I'm gonna upcase it. Or not, it would appear that those are static... *sigh*

KCRUG vs KCRug - Joshua French

Fri, 04 Jan 2008 14:43:09 -0600

Shouldn't the site be KCRUG instead of KCRug? I mean it's an acronym for Kansas City Ruby Users Group. Just don't want the Users and the Group to feel left out (despite my posting it on this forum instead of our Google group).

An "About" menu item and page has been added to the site. I have included a list of links to the page. If you are logged in as an administrator, you may modify this page and the links list if you see fit.

Hey guys. I'll try and keep up. I drove up to Chicago this weekend to pick up some cabinets, and I'm still trying to catch up from the lost time.

Meetup About Page - Ryan Flannagan

Mon, 22 Oct 2007 10:48:28 -0500

In light of the new KCRug page. I thought I would add an about page to
the meetup group website and point browsers to the new website.
However, I need some a general history of KCRug. I know the basics but
if anyone could fill me in on the details.

KCRug has been around for 2+ years, correct? Does anyone have the date
when we were founded. Who were the original founders? Some sort of
mission statement would help. How many ruby geeks does it take to
change a light bulb? etc.

Basically, I would just like to write up a short about page
telling the general world who, what, where, when, why and then point them
at this very pretty new website. Anything, you have to add would
really be appreciated.

Thx,

Ryan

It would be awesome if Ben could make it and lead the discussion!(?)

RSS feed - Ron Lambkin

Why not take advantage of the RSS feed on our site? I use Sage in the sidebar in Firefox. In Sage, I just click on the magnifying glass to 'discover' this feed while I am in this page. Or you can just click on the Subscribe icon in the "Forum Posts" box on this page.

By the way, you can post to this forum, but you have to register first. Click on Register in the upper-right corner of the page to get into the swim.

KC Rug on Doodlebit - Ron Lambkin

Sun, 21 Oct 2007 10:58:17 -0500

The mirror for our group website [web link] has been changed to take advantage of Doodlekit [web link. Doodlekit is really slick. It has been created by KCRug member Ben Kittrell and Heath Huffman, proprieters of "Doodlebit Web Based Solutions" [web link. It is Ruby on Rails code and is very well done.

Ben has setup a free Doodlekit site for use by KCRug. Jason Clinton and I have made a few modifications to the site. At the next meeting, the site, its uses and future modifications, and the mechanics of Doodlekit will be open for discussion.
