We're still here!
Due to the summer holidays and also my availability, we’ve had a bit of a break from Surrey Rubyists since the last meet where we played Hangman.
I’m now looking to setup the next meeting, so if anyone fancies presenting a Ruby related topic, please let me know.
Cheers

Congrats to threedaymonk for getting two players to the final, that was pretty hardcore!

Details will follow once we have some speakers.

Initial feedback is good
It’s been a few days since I started trying to gauge the interest level of a Surrey based Ruby group and I think there is enough interest to take it further. So here is an update:
Discussion Group
First of all, I’ve set-up a Google Group for discussions around the Surrey Rubyists User Group (SRUG). If you would like to discuss anything or put forward an idea please post it to the...

Interested?
I’m currently thinking about setting up a new User Group in the Surrey area for Ruby developers. At this stage I would like to find out what the level of interest might be and where most people would prefer the location to be.
