      <title>Two April Meetings, Tuesday April 8th and Monday April 28th</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;This month&amp;#8217;s meeting will be held at it&amp;#8217;s usual place, the &lt;a href='http://www.cambridgeinnovationcenter.com/'&gt;Cambridge Innovation Center&lt;/a&gt;, 1 Broadway St, Kendall Sq on &lt;strong&gt;Tuesday, April 8th&lt;/strong&gt;, and on &lt;strong&gt;Monday April 28th&lt;/strong&gt; (you can get in as early as 6:30 PM; socializing and pizza starts at 7:00 PM).
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
 It will be held on the 5th floor (not the 14th). Sign in and go to 5. Then follow the signs. 
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We are looking for a &lt;em&gt;Sponsor&lt;/em&gt; for the April 8th mtg.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;hr/&gt;

	&lt;h3&gt;Agenda for Tuesday 4/8&lt;/h3&gt;


	&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Antony Nigel Donovan &amp;#8211; acts_as_materialized_path.&lt;br/&gt; A plugin to assist in handling of hierarchical data.  A different take on functionality similar to, without claim to be better than, BetterNestedSet. 
	&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Writing the plugin.  &lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;Using the plugin and RESTful rails to manage a hierarchy.  &lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;Fun with &lt;acronym title="RJS"&gt;AJAX&lt;/acronym&gt; and &lt;span class="caps"&gt;REST&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;Databases and hierarchies.&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;/ul&gt;
	&lt;/li&gt;
		&lt;li&gt;Lightning talks and general discussions.&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;/ul&gt;
