Thanks to everyone that came to the last meetup, I think deployment is a really big subject, and ti would be great to get more knowledge in the area.
I would still like to see capistrano in action in the hands of an expert, push it to the limits. And we definitely need better tools in the .Net space ( or to learn about them if they are out there and we are not aware of them), What is everyone using?
Anyway, moving on…
Behavioour Driven Development is the topic of this meetup
- Jon Hurd is going to talk about Cucumber
- Ruben Bartelink is going to introduce us to SubSpec
Registration link
I hope everyone had a good time at IOSCD last Saturday the 24th of April.
Thanks to our Hosts: the Open Source Labs at UCD and our sponsors JetBrains, Manning and Microsoft for their support
The sessions were:
- Oook!
- Rx
- Cucumber with Iron Ruby
- pLinq and Mono
- Mongo Db (a bit of a comparison between .net implementation and a ruby implementation)
- shytecode ( saw this in the repo, not sure how far it went)
Please add a comment here for any relevant info and particularly if you wrote a blog post about it
To everyone that came Thanks a million and also I invite you to please let us know how can we make the event better by sending us some feedback ( we ll email you a form in the next few days), however if you feel teh urge to say something now, dont restrain yourself adn add a comment 
Also there this idea of having virtual meetings monthly? bi-weekly? using some sort of video conferencing facility, thoughts on thsi one highly apreciated.
Thanks again for coming along, and looking forward to the next one, should be in a few months.

Hi all:
Just got an email from the people at Seagrass, basically they can’t open on tuedays anymore.
Hence we need to change the date of the next meetup to Wednesday the 20th of January.
Topic and all the rest remains the same.
Can you please reply here to let us know if you are coming?
Thanks

Hi all:
New year new format .
Basically, instead of someone responsible of presenting a topic, we are going to try this approach of discussing a topic as a group, so please read up on it and be ready to contribute.
The topic is: Web Platforms ( ie: Open Rasta, ASP.NET MVC, Monorail, FubuMVC, Webforms, etc)
- How are they different?
- whats good and what s bad about them?
- When to use one or the other?
- How about smaller frameworks?
- How simple it is to host them in a different platform
- … etc
See you there
Please note change of Date due to Seagrass now being closed on Tuesdays (….)
