Hey folks,

Sorry for the confusion here, but since the meeting was scheduled on top of the Ruby meeting, we moved it up a day, still the same time.

I've put up a new Doodle poll here -Âhttp://www.doodle.com/v3i7zt33p6iysaq7.

Thanks to Paul for his flexibility!

If Clojure adoption is on the rise, where are the commercial success stories and how was Clojure used in these successes?
This talk examines three personal startup successes where Clojure was utilized to varying degrees. Each piece of the story will discuss the technology need, risk, and tradeoffs encountered as Clojure was consider, as well as what the language provided that led to success. Finally, an outline is extracted on how to apply Clojure as a problem solving tool where agility and continual learning naturally emerge as convenient by-products.

About the speaker:ÂPaul lives for magnificent engineering. Elegant, well-founded, useful solutions to problems that say something about engineering's beauty. He loves metrics, taking on the impossible, and making lives better through technology. Currently he is the VP of Engineering at Tutorspree. Previously he worked at PushButton Labs, Etsy.com, OurShelf, and SilverCloud Software as well as working in advanced research (DARPA).

Thanks,
MBL
