One of the things I enjoy working at RSB is the 10% personal project time given to each team member to pursue their own interest (sure, we’ve all heard about Google’s 20% time and we hope reach that as we grow). Anyway, that works out to 4 hours or one afternoon’s worth of time. I choose to focus this time on building the Malaysia.rb community.
Ever since Malaysia.rb started in May 2007, we’ve had regular monthly meetups every third Thursday of the month at various locations in the Klang Valley. And, with the first meetup of 2008 coming upon us this week, it is my duty to send out the event announcement:
Malaysia.rb is kicking off 2008 with a bang! The January 2008 Meetup is happening this Thursday and it’s gonna seriously rock.
Four reasons why you shouldn’t miss this meetup:
- Meeting room with AV facilities and FOOD - MDEC has graciously stepped up to sponsor this month’s location.
- Special guest, Colin Wong, a Malaysian ex-Googler turned investor. Look out for his talk details below.
- Free pre-meetup PeepCode screening of “Rails From Scratch Part I” for early birds
- Two free PeepCode episodes to be won
