On 1 September last 2006 the new Dutch law on the quality of government websites went into effect. Read all ppk’s notes over at Quirksmode.
This is a great milestone for webstandards in the Netherlands.

After the first Fingertips ’morning coffee‘ meeting there is also a second one taking place on the 5th of October.
This time around it isn’t just for Rails developers but other next gen application frameworks are also welcome (Django etc.).
Last time I wasn’t able to make it. But this time around I will be there.
Check it out: Second ‘morning coffee’ meeting in Amsterdam

David Black is teaching a one day Rails workshop in Amsterdam. This will be held at september the 18th and will cost € 399 for the early birds and € 500,000,000 € 449 for the slow people.
I think these are very reasonable prices for such a great workshop. As most of your average workshops are € 500 a day and don’t have a world famous, top-of-the-line teacher.

Last Thursday Fingertips’ Rails ‘Show and Tell’ Meeting went down.
It was lots of fun and I met quite a few interesting people. Not all talks where as good as each other, but I very much enjoyed the “Why Django?” by Simon de Haan and the “Unicode in Rails” by Julian ‘Julik’ Tarkhanov presentation.

Some time now I have been meaning to organize an event of my own. I thought it would be fun to get together in a cafe/pub, drink beer and socialize with the whole Dutch Ruby on Rails and I thought the name Ruby On Beers was appropriate.
In my last post I mentioned Ruby On Beers and the reactions I got where all positive so I made a logo for it:
More concept work.
Date and Time
31st of May, starting at 17:00
Location
Stairway to heaven
Mariaplaast 11-12, Utrecht

RubyEnRails has finished and it was a great success. There where about 120 people there. Most of them hadn't worked with rails longer than 6 months. I also got to know quite allot of people.
The sponsors (Profict and Finalist) did a good job of setting up the event and the venue where this was held was very nice but it took quite long to get there.
I'm all ready looking forward to next years RubyEnRails. Maybe we should organise something in the meantime. We could all meet up somewhere and have a few beers; Ruby on Beers.
