Meeting was at theScore offices.

Mat Trudel from FunnelCloud - Thousand Island

Thousand Island is a socket server inspired by ranch that's being used as the basis for a new Plug-centric pure Elixir HTTP server called bandit. In addition to being a behind-the-scenes look at how Phoenix & Plug talk to the outside world, this talk should also be a good study in how to structure large-scale supervision trees for stability & performance. https://github.com/mtrudel/thousand_island

Tyler Pachal - Property Based Testing in Elixir/Erlang to create new libraries.
