+title: Monthly Meetup Changes Coming in September 2017
+date: 2017-08-16 22:33
+---
+
+Big changes coming for the meetup group! Read on for a list of things we're changing.
+
+## NOTE: NEW TIME: 5:30pm
+
+We are beginning the meetups from now on at 5:30pm (instead of 6:30pm)
+to make gaining entry to the building where Prime is located easier.
+
+## LOCATION: Prime Digital Academy
+
+**We are back at Prime Digital Academy in their new downtown
+Minneapolis location**
+
+301 4th Ave. S - 5th Floor, Minneapolis, MN
+
+(This is the North building, between 3rd and 4th Streets along 4th Ave.)
+
+## COST
+
+We are going to start charging $5.00 for the meetup, in order to
+defray some of the cost for providing drinks and snacks.
+
+## PARTICIPANTS
+
+The meetups will be limited in size to 20 people including guests.
+
+## MEETUP AGENDA
+
+We're adopting a new agenda and format for the meetup. Instead of a
+talk and hack session, we'll be doing the following:
+
+5:30pm - 6:00pm: Arrive, mingle, eat something, network
+
+6:00pm - 7:00pm: Ruby and Rails Lesson - code along practical instruction
+
+7:00pm - 8:00pm: Project work
+
+## CURRICULUM
+
+I'll be pulling together a curriculum of lessons, exercises, small
+projects, and tutorials that will extend over the year, to give a
+sense of what we'll be focusing on each month.
+
+## GROUP PROJECTS
+
+Instead of a hack night format, we're going to be reinstituting group
+projects for people to work on together, to apply the skills you're
+learning right away. I'd like to set up a couple of different projects
+for people to work on, depending on the attendance. I want to limit
+group size to 5 people. My intent is that you'll form up into a team
+that works together month to month at the meetup.

+**AGENDA**

+We'll begin a new agenda:

+5:30pm - 6:00pm: Arrive, mingle, get some refreshments, network

+
+
+**BRING**
+
+A Laptop: *Please* come with your laptop prepared with a working Rails development environment installed. You should test this by building a really simple Rails application, basically a "Hello World" sort of thing.
+
+Last few months, most attendees have gotten up an running quickly on Cloud9 (https://c9.io), a software development environment in the cloud.
