    After a discussion on irc today we are tempted to open a study group
    for Ruby at http://p2pu.org/ focusing mainly in beginners now, and
    seeing how the community evolves.
     
    I'll be happy to organise the group if we get at least 3 mentors.
    Oisin has volunteered for a mentor position so we will need another 2
    (or more). Anyone up for it? Please reply to this thread if you are
    either interested in being a mentor or in joining the group.
     
    These groups can be managed synchronously and asynchronously so you
    don't have to be in Dublin to join in. We can use irc, skype or any
    other communication techniques. We might also meet in person, but
    meetups don't have to happen in Dublin exclusively. Group members can
    organise their own meetups too.
     
    Let us know what you guys think!
     
    cheers,
    José

    Hey Richard, you signing up as a mentor, right?
     
    cheers,

    As a beginner Rubyist a local study group is exactly what I would love to
    have access to.

    Bit of column A, bit of column B.
     
    My experience in Ruby is a bit spikey atm. Hoping to round it out, and
    launch a few personal learning projects, compound some essential skills
    into muscle memory.
     
    Was more into the peering bit. But I can get absolute beginners off the
    ground (have non-ruby background in tech training) and I have decent Ruby
    on Windows experience.
     
    regards,
    Richard

    this sounds great - i'd be a beginner and not a mentor!!!
     
    despite difficulties all term in my RoR course, i managed to get up to
    speed. however, we ended up having a stinker of an exam last saturday
    (format completely changed without our being told) so i failed it. (a
    first for me in exams...)
    looking forward to being mentored - thanks to all!

    Great initiative guys. Won't have time at the moment to help on mentoring -
    which I really regret - but will do anything I can to help support it.
     
    I think it's just about the best thing we can do at the moment to help
    people with Ruby!

    Sounds great. My issue with learning ruby has been I don't get to practice
    much and free time is nearly non existent at the moment (it's a girl).
    Would it be an option to use these sessions to work on a project, which
    could be worked on in increments and hosted on github or similar. This
    would allow members who miss a session to track the project updates. Of
    course the project commits would need to be well documented. I'm sure the
    community could come up with some project ideas that would cover a lot, may
    end up with something useful, which would be nice.
