This should be a good evening! My housemate's a Rubyist who attends
their group, and I know a lot of the guys there from the likes of XP
Manchester. It'll be nice to meet with them for a change.
No doubt they'll outnumber us by a wide margin, but if Robie turns up
we'll be better off, brainpower-wise.
One suggestion I have is from something we did at the Preston Codejo
recently - we all pair off and look up something from the docs (us at
Ruby docs, them at Python docs) and have a play with one of the
constructs to see how they work in the other language - say I pick
arrays, I read up on how arrays work in ruby, interesting examples of
referencing, dereferencing, sub-arrays, etc. and briefly present my
findings to the group.
We threw around a few ideas at last month's meet and said it would be
good if we could have a bot tournament, Python vs. Ruby - but this
requires some preparation from collaborating organisers from each
party. Maybe some other time. Speaking of which, it was also suggested
that we may wish to meet together regularly/periodically in future.
What do people think?

Hi Everyone,
Owing to a quirk of fate, the Python and Ruby groups at Madlab
will need to share a single room for our meetings next week!
Rather than sitting at opposite corners of the room and talking
quietly, I reckon it might be an good idea to hold a joint meeting.
Ideas about how we might conduct such an event include:
- A couple of short Ruby/Python 101's from the respective camps.
- Working through Python/Ruby coding exercises.
- Chatting in the pub afterwards.
Any thoughts?
Cheers,
Safe
