Rails - May 2006 - Announcing the Silicon Valley Ruby on Rails Meetup Group

Hello,

We''re organizing a meetup group for Silicon Valley Ruby on Rails 
engineers.  If you''re in the Valley and interested in meeting with
local
Rails programmers, we would like to invite you to join the group.  We 
haven''t set the date and time for our first meeting, but we''re
hoping to
have our first get together sometime in the next few weeks.

To join, follow this link:
http://ruby.meetup.com/72/t/if_2829382/?gj=ej4

If you''re unfamiliar with meetup.com, here is a blurb from their site:

"Meetup.com is a website that helps people who share a common interest 
build groups, plan events, and get active. Do, change, learn, practice, 
share, support... there are thousands of local Meetups for thousands of 
interests.

To learn more about Meetup.com, visit:

Thanks!

-Zack

That''s great, Zack.  And for those of you who can get to the city, 
there''s always the SF Ruby Meetup too.

http://ruby.meetup.com/6/

The SF Ruby Meetup has regular meetings on the 2nd Tuesday of the month. 
If you make the SV Meetup on a different night, people would have the 
option to attend both. Just something to think about.

I''d second that - I''d love to attend both for a maximal
monthly rails
fix.
How about the 4th Tuesday of every month?

To really maximize your Ruby fix, might I recommend holding Ruby/Rails
hacking nights on the Tuesdays you don''t have a formal meeting. You
don''t need much for a hacking night to succeed, just 2 or more people,
1 or more computers, 1 or more projects to pair up on, and a place to
meet.

The people who are doing it seem *very* happy with the results:
