[ale] [ANNC] ALE-NW @ SPSU MTG. for Thurs., Mar 14, 7:30pm

[JD]

A screencast **might** be possible.  I know that Alan (the presenter tonight)
DOES record his biweekly Ruby on Rails sessions, but with such late notice, he
may not have all the equipment needed with him today.

I'm sure he can provide a link to the prior screencasts during the meeting. The
commonly used tools are git, vimeo, heroku and RVM, so it would not hurt to have
these tools setup and ready on your laptop.

By all means, bring your camera too.
