#columbusrb on irc.freenode.net
joshua.s...@gmail.com
For you IRC'ers out there, I've started up a channel for Columbus'
very own Ruby Brigade. I'm going through the necessary rigamarole to
get this thing official, but I'll be hanging out in it most days. I
know many of you might be trying to bring Ruby or Rails into your
worklife, but might be stuck on something and you don't have any
resources to turn to. Hopefully, this will turn into the Columbus
community banding together to help each other out. If you have any
questions, just shoot me an email.

This is Winston from the SouthEast Michigan Ruby Brigade.
I like the sound of members helping out other members. With that in
mind, how do you feel about forming a MidWest mailing list or a
MidWest.rb irc channel.
During our last meeting there was some talk about casting a bigger
community net without going out directly to the ruby or rails mailing
list.

Is there a way to 'meta-group' in Google Groups?

Actually, I am glad to discover your group is there ( http://rubymi.org
). Cool Wiki!
And I'm sure Greg of RubyPittsburgh ( http://groups.google.com/group/rubypgh
), who sometimes forwards posts, will have something to say.

Ruby? Scarlet & Grey? See the connection
Maize and Blue certainly doesn't match ;-)
Oh well, as long as it's not Orange & Blue :-(

That's a great idea. I'd love to see mailing lists and IRC used as a
resource for some of the "lonely" developers working in a company
without any help to turn to. The Offical Rails mailing list and IRC
channels are great, but there's just too many people and there's a lot
of chatter. I'm all for a regional channel to get things going.
Winston, what do you see as the next step?

named http://ircatwork.com/. I connected to #columbusrb successfully
from the office with it. Thought I'd share the find - FYI.
Didn't someone start a Campfire room for the CRB once upon a time,
too?

my posts times. Three members of SEMI.rb are going to be here, and
two "ghost' members who I just meet on the light rail.
If any one else is in the area, send me a message and I'll give you my cell.
Next Steps:
* float the idea to the Grand Rapids Ruby Brigade.
* check the status of the Toledo Group, and send them a message.
We have several approaches for connecting that I see.
1) Form a MidWest Ruby Brigade mailing list. Maybe through Google.
2) Form an IRC channel. I think the Columbus channel is a great one
and I think one for the MidWest would have more traffic. Taking the
idea of the same time zone... maybe an East Coast Ruby Brigade?
Whatever is needed to form a critical mass.
As of now, I don't know of any software that can keep the groups
separate but have the option of cross posting. So I guess right now
I'm thing of having a separate list for the MidWest that people can
sign up for.
