Hi, I'm Mike Hall. I'm standing here with Jen Lindner and Milan Dabrota, and they're working with a Tribune company in Chicago, and they're doing a little, like a user group, a support network called Tribune Tech, and you're hosting some groups. Can you tell, you said you've hosted JS Hack Nights, and you have something planned for ChicagoRuby Testing, yep, Chicago Testing Group, excuse me. So, can you tell a little bit about what you guys are doing and what you're looking to do with the community into the microphone? Sure.

groups that you've hosted so far how did you you know come to are you guys using a lot of javascript and ruby and internally so you wanted to figure out a way to like give back to the community by hosting and bringing people in or what happened was uh the tribune itself was basically saying you know to itself like nobody really knows that we do technology here they don't know how much we actually use and we they've open sourced some gems this year there's a lot like under ruby and some interesting javascript too and so they asked for volunteers to basically be like an interface to the community in general to basically help you know support whatever knowledge sharing and a better uh development culture within technology and to sort of let everybody know what we're actually doing to support the things that are good so that's how we met and we all started this like volunteer thing and we knew various user groups and so we started reaching out to people that we knew in the community and saying like we'd really like to host we'd like to you know do other things we you know come along and that's how this ball got rolling okay and so i mean have you guys been involved with the the the key metric is are you guys having fun and enjoying it it's it this is something this isn't something coming from core but this is something that you guys helped to create or i mean how did because it's it's unique that a company would be saying hey how can we figure out how to become more engaged with the community especially one that's not yeah known yes yes so i think that's a that's a that was a great idea because they basically came up to us they said okay we need volunteers um that are gonna you know you're gonna get certain number that you can work on improving our culture you know connecting with the community and you know just they didn't tell us what to do they just told us what we could do and uh our we didn't have any limits yeah so um that's really cool like because everybody's a volunteer and we're so passionate about it so um we were brainstorming a lot we came up with all these ideas we came with some internal tribune internal ideas the developer hack night shirts and yeah so so um as far as the as far as our external um you know engagement with with the community goes yeah so far we're doing hack nights so just like you said earlier uh we did a couple of javascript pack nights on meteor js and uh the javascript events yeah and we will we are currently talking to ChicagoRuby testing group organizers that's a new group so okay uh we hope to uh okay well thank you very much for taking the time to talk with me and hopefully we'll be able to send some people your way thanks thanks Thank you.
