1st Presentation: Check

We've just survived our first presentation on contributing to Discourse!

The LA Ruby Meetup's theme of the night was gems, and it took place at Pivotal Labs--which was where it all started.

We were nervous, but we think we did alright. We kept it pretty short (maybe 15-20 minutes?) since we were the last to go tonight, and we did a Q&A afterward.

We made our presentation slides pretty quickly so we'd like to make some edits before we post it. :)

After the Meetup, a bunch of us went for drinks at Tinga.

Thanks to camerawoman and organizer Jen, who led a tutorial on creating gems tonight.
