[JD]

I hope to see everyone at the meeting @ 7:30p tonight!

       Topic: Ruby on Rails for the Uninformed

A google-maps link with directions from I-75 is located here:
http://tomshiro.org/twiki/view/ALE/AleNwOrg along with some other ALE-NW
information.
I would encourage everyone to bring their laptops.
The meeting is open to everyone, all ages and backgrounds.
