      <title>July Special Meeting: Dave Thomas</title>
      <description>&lt;h4&gt;The Details&lt;/h4&gt;
Event: 	Austin on Rails Evening with Dave Thomas&lt;br/&gt;
Date:	Thursday, July 6, 2006&lt;br/&gt;
Time:	7 p.m. - 9 p.m.&lt;br/&gt;
Location:  UT Campus&lt;br/&gt;
Room: &lt;a href="http://www.utexas.edu/maps/main/buildings/tay.html"&gt;Taylor Hall&lt;/a&gt; 2.106&lt;br/&gt;
Topics:  Rails, Agile Development, Ruby, Q&amp;A

&lt;h4&gt;The Speaker&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Dave Thomas is a well-known software development expert, particularly
in the Ruby community. He helped write the Agile Manifesto. He is the
author of many books, including the best selling The Pragmatic
Programmer: From Journeyman to Master, Programming Ruby: A Pragmatic
Programmer's Guide, and Agile Web Development With Rails.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h4&gt;Event Parking&lt;/h4&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2 blocks away from Taylor Hall, there are 2 parking garages:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.utexas.edu/maps/main/buildings/swg.html"&gt;SWG &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.utexas.edu/maps/main/buildings/tsg.html"&gt;TSG&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There are usually spots open around San Jacinto and 24th.  Parking shouldn't be a huge problem since it is summer.  There is some parking around the building but you want to make sure you read the signs so you don't get a parking ticket.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h4&gt;Acknowledgments&lt;/h4&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We'd like to send out a very special thanks to Tina Wang, Joshua Shanks, Justin Perkins (for the initial contact), and the UT ACM for hosting our meeting in the auditorium.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;UPDATE:  I've added this event to upcoming.org if you'd like to &lt;a href="http://upcoming.org/event/88447/"&gt;rsvp over there now&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
