Send out the email earlier. Like, last week earlier. Like, two weeks before the meeting earlier. It lets people discuss what's coming up and what they're interested in. I don't think I've seen a thread where people didn't know what to discuss, it was just a matter of having time to do so...

Yeah, I'd question your assumptions, Warren. We don't really have a problem putting together speakers. But, sometimes, it can be a little last-minute since we're all so busy working on projects. I don't see us changing the focus of the group, either -- this is a great time to be learning and using Ruby -- but talks on other languages are always welcome. Tom Werner, for instance, is doing some really interesting stuff with Erlang. -- Patrick On Jun 5, 2007, at 9:22 pm, Warren Henning wrote: > On 6/5/07, Patrick Crowley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> We've got a meeting on Thursday.
