I see that this group hasn't been active in a while. I figured I would write to say that the Dallas Scala Enthusiasts meetup group (
https://www.meetup.com/Dallas-Scala-Enthusiasts/) has been meeting regularly (second Thursday of each month) for more than the past year. We would love to see some fresh faces and hear about what you've been working on!
I post regular updates there and will be linking the sub-reddit back here in case folks want to have more in-depth discussions.
