Here is a summary of my ATLRUG announcements from late night.
1. Please support and sponsor "Black Girls Code -
Summer of Code" Oct. 13, 2012 here in Atlanta.
- More Info: http://www.blackgirlscode.com/

2. Ever wanted for an issue on an open source project to
be fixed faster than normal and you were willing to pay
to speed up the fix. Here is a new way to do that.
- http://www.freedomsponsors.org/
- Crowdfunding Issues on Open Source Projects
- I am not part of the company or web site.
3. Free on-line (4.5 weeks) Rails course starts on Sep. 24, 2012
- https://www.edx.org/courses/BerkeleyX/CS169.1x/2012_Fall/about
- I took the course (previous version) back in July 2012.
- I would recommend it.
4. ATLRUG's Emerald City group restarted this month.
They are going through the Rails Tutorial book.

5. I am starting a new "Virtual Software Quality Consulting"
company and need your help to understand the market for a
role that is more than software tester and test automation
on Rails software development projects.
I have created a website, www.softareQualityCraft.com , where
I have summarized my proposed services and have a quick survey.
I would appreciate it if you would help me by filling it out.
Thanks,
Al Snow
