April Recap, New Location for May

April 2008 Summary

CohesiveFT presented some exciting virtualization and elastic server on demand (ESOD) technology at our April meeting. Thank you Yan Pritzker for coming out to present!

Trevor Turk shared his continuing development of El Dorado with the group. As a special bonus, he described his experience in moving from Subversion to Git. You can grab the El Dorado presentation at the ChicagoRuby.org Download Page.

And again, thank you Lee DeForest of DeForest Group for providing a great meeting location! Skip the Hollywood restaurants; the DeForest site is the new hang-out for celebrities (inside joke).

El Dorado and ESOD

Our April 19, 2008 meeting will start off with El Dorado by Trevor Turk. El Dorado is a community web app written in Rails. Trevor will share stories from the trenches including lessons learned and why he chose Git over Subversion.

If you’re launching a Rails app, Yan Pritzker from CohesiveFT will tell you where to put it. Yan will give a brief overview of Elastic Server On-Demand (ESOD), a Rails-based web application that is used to create virtualized servers from a catalog of application components. A demo will be given of how to create a ready-to-go Rails stack and run your application on it without concern about remembering what you did to make the environment work.

Be sure to drop by Meetup.com and RSVP. See you in April!
