+The May 2024 meeting of LRUG will be on Monday the 13th of May, from 6:00pm
+to 8:00pm (meeting starts at 6:30pm).
+
+This time we're being hosted by the

+offices][cleo-venue], on Shoreditch High St. [Full venue and registration
+details are given below](#may24registration).
+
+## Agenda
+
+### Build and maintain large Ruby applications
+
+[Enrico Teotti](https://teotti.com) says:
+
+> This presentation will be about the challenges of building large Ruby web applications and how to maintain existing ones. I will use examples adapted from real applications that I worked on during my 10 years of experience with Ruby outlining: technical limitations of the language, how to use a modular dependency structure to enforce boundaries in complex domains.
+
+### Building modern eCommerce applications using Rails 7
+
+[Winston Ferguson](https://winstonferguson.com) says:
+
+> With the newest Rails version, we can create platforms that offer the
+> modern features customers and sellers expect, with less complexity. Combine
+> it with an established open-source gem like Spree, and you've got a
+> comprehensive commerce system. I'll share my learnings from three real-life
+> examples: a music label selling limited edition vinyl LPs, a wholesaler
+> shedding enterprise SaaS for a tailor-made setup, and my furniture startup,
+> where CAD brings bespoke pieces to life.
+
+## Afterwards
+
+When the talks come to an end we'll decamp to a local pub for some food, some
+drinks and some chat with your fellow attendees.
+
+Of course, even though this is the socialising part and seems more
+informal, please remember that still we consider it to be a part of the
+meeting and covered by our [code of conduct](http://readme.lrug.org/#code-of-conduct).
+
+## Venue & Registration {#may24registration}
