The Melbourne Scala User Group and the Scandal of the Disappearing Pint

Using his most remarkable powers of deduction, my good friend Holmes had ascertained the precise time and location where the Melbourne Scala User Group was to have its final assemblage for the year. At six-thirty precisely, on Monday the twenty-third of November, we were to present ourselves at the establishment where the various miscreants and cohorts were due to confabulate.

"I quite expect," said he, "that there will be much discourse, jocularity and consumption of beverages. But we must not let down our guards for one instant! Who knows when we might be engaged in the topic of internal DSLs, tail recursion or our plans for Christmas".

"Do you think we'll enjoy ourselves?" I queried.

"Quite so. In fact, I'll wager you half a guinea that we do. It is elementary".

ANN: Portland Scala User Group Meeting - Wed Nov 18th

PDXScala, the Portland, Oregon Scala users group, has recently formed and will be holding an informal gathering Wednesday, Nov 18th, at the Lucky Lab Brew Pub on Hawthorne Blvd. More details, including a map, are available here.

We will be meeting at 7PM, but as this is a very casual event, just show up when you can. Hopefully this event will give people a chance to hear what others in the area are using Scala for or to find out more about why you might want to be using it. We will also discuss plans for future events.

You can also sign up for the group mailing list.
