We meet every week via a google meeting. The times alternate each week to encourage attendance from multiple time zones. Each week we will provide a summary here to facilitate historical preservation & further discussion. If you would like to join this meeting, you can do so here: https://meet.google.com/her-tjpt-xmf
you know, having the meeting link is nice, but the meetings are at different times and I fail to see the time mentioned somewhere?

During the Community Over Code hackathon, James worked on a Grails version of the once-campfire project (other implementations: https://github.com/basecamp/once-campfire#other-implementations). * The goal was to show that Grails can outperform Rails, Django, Laravel, and Elixir. Other stacks used a number of non-standard techniques to achieve their results, and I applied similar approaches in https://github.com/jamesfredley/once-campfire-grails. * The Grails example now handily beats those stacks, though it remains behind Express (reads), Rust, and C. * This is not a best-practices Grails application. It is a marketing/performance example to demonstrate that the Grails stack can compete with (and beat) these traditional frameworks. * Take a look and let me know what you think about trying to get this comparison added. I am leaning toward yes given the results, but I have not invested much time yet, so I am fine if we decide it is not worth participating.
Usually I do not link youtube videos but https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BFt49ula08 is quite interesting to see to what lengths people can go in a scenario slightly similar to that... and yes, that includes throwing out all the maintainable approaches.
