To keep the meeting short, we're only asking for two talks, of a 5-7 minute duration. If you are interested in talking, please sign up below. Don't think you can give a talk, but have an idea for a talk you'd like to see? Add it to the **Talks I'd like to see** on the wiki page [1] === Main Talk === Chris Collins will be giving a talk on Rails 3 [2], covering the differences between Rails 2.x and Rails 3.0 (and possibly more). Rails (more fully, Ruby on Rails) is one of the most popular web frameworks amongst the hip Web2.0/Agile Development crowd; the upgrade to 3.0 is a major step forward, as it sees Rails merging with another popular framework, Merb. === Lightning Talks === See the wiki[1] for details of lightning talks, or to suggest or offer for a talk. === Afterwards === As with September, we'll be aiming to finish by 8 and will be heading to the Pyrmont Bridge Hotel afterwards.
