Starting the Louisville (KY) RAILS User Group

[Chris]

If your in the Louisville Area (or closeby) and are interested in
Rails then join the new Google Group:

http://groups.google.com/group/louisville-ky-rails-user-group


This group was just created because I'm personally a bit tired of
seeing no activity/spam of this group. Can't say that the Rails group
will be more active, but I will personally monitor it and make sure it
doesn't become a home for spammers.

[Chris]

I was wondering why I couldn't delete/remove the spam, then I realized
this was the LV Ruby group and not my LV Rails group.

What happened, did you close the group?  Louisville needs an actual Ruby group/meet-up/hack night... I'm not sure we have the people, but I just talked to a BrainTree Dev at RailsConf and he said they just hired 3 people away from Louisville... are you at RailsConf?  If so we should sit down tomorrow and discuss starting a group.

Thanks,

Josh

Yes, we pretty much stopped holding meetings due to lack of people. Sadly I am not at RailsConf. If you would like to take over and try to rally the LouRUG group again that would be great as I have a lot going on at this time and wont be able to spend time working on it.

As William Gibson said, "The future is already here — it's just not very evenly distributed." -- Louisville is one of the places where the future arrives late, and sometimes you have to do a little pushing to get it to come around.

You might consider showing up at a KYOSS meeting (http://kyoss.org/). KYOSS is the Kentucky open source society, which started as the amalgamation of the Linux meetup and PHP meetup on meetup.com. Meetings are held on the second Wednesday of the month, i.e. this Wednesday. We usually have a few Ruby folk there.

The meeting is held at LVL1 (LVL1.org), which has its own brand of weird and wonderful geeks, they have open build night every Tuesday evening, you might find some Ruby programmers there who don't intersect with KYOSS. Finally, there's MOSSCON coming up on May 18-19, which is Louisville's first open source conference.

Bottom line, there are Ruby/ROR programmers out there, but they're not organized in any way, and you may have to start pulling a few threads in order to find them. I'm definitely interested, should a meeting coalesce.
