It's exhilarating to see all the RUG announcements, like this one.
However, I'm saddened that I still haven't found an active group in
Boston / New England. :(

Start one.

Really, it's not that hard, and people on this list will (I expect) give
you suggestions and pointers on getting one off the ground.

I've been sort of stunned by the turn out for the Phoenix group, and I
keep hearing from, and hearing about, more people who are interested.

But someone has to start the ball rolling.

Looks like you're elected. :)


Here's one suggestion: Look for a Mac or Linux or some other geek-based
user group, and ask them to ask their members about joining a RUG.

Well, there's the Boston Ruby Brigade (boston.rb) with mailing
list info here:
http://lists.rubygroup.org/mailman/listi...

They were doing things in late 2005, and at least tried
to organize a meeting in December (a hard time to get people
together).

If yoiu don't mind a longer drive, you might look at:

Portland, ME Ruby Brigade starting up (announced
on the rails list)

the New Haven, CT Ruby Brigade


good luck,

I had the same problem last year in West Michigan, I posted a thing on meetup.com, and the next
thing you knew we had people sign up, and show up to meetings. =)

Meetup.com is no longer free so I dont know if you want to fork out the $10 to $15 bucks a month for
their services, but getting one together is quite easy, especially if you offer free food =)

Try finding one in this city then (Bratislava). Although I have a very
nagging hunch there's a whole of two Ruby users around here including me ;P

Any chance of a Metro-accessible location next time? I live in MD, but work
in Arlington. Anywhere the Metro will take me is convenient after work, and
I'd love to meet up with some birds of a feather.

Our meetings at new_haven.rb are once a month and you're welcome to
attend, though I imagine that's a bit of a haul.

Still, if you happen to be in the area on the second wednesday of the
month at any given time, feel free to stop by and say hello!

Best of luck finding a group near you. Do try universities, local
LUGs, and other places you might find Rubyists or Rubyists to be
lurking :)

Gregory, even though that was aimed at Ryan, I'll keep it in mind when
planning trips back east to visit my folks. :)

Ryan, As James Britt recommended, starting a group might be a good
way to go. Check out local web design, linux, agile, or XP groups for
people who might be interested. It doesn't take to many people to get
something rolling, we started the Seattle.rb with just three of us.

One other thought -- while it might be too far to go hit the New_Haven.rb,
boston.rb, or the new Portland group on a regular basis, it might be cool
to get the different groups together once in a while for a bigger activity,
maybe a Saturday of hacking and presentations topped off with an rbbq.

happy hacking,
