Anyone? (My apologies for the cross post, but I'm not caffeinated enough to hit both entities at once.)

[Mika Leuck]

We are happy to host the meeting and I know Dan would be interested.

If someone organizes a Ruby group, I'm sure many will come out.

I certainly will make an effort to attend these regularly, as I'm always on the prowl for local Ruby/Rails talent. :-)

If the scheduling works out right, I may be able to squeeze in some time to give a presentation on a JRuby/GlassFish stack on Fedora Linux sometime -- maybe April/May timeframe. That would be a way to cross-pollenate interest from the Eclipse/Java group and the Linux group.

[Daniel Leuck]

I'd definitely be interested in hearing this talk.

Sam & I were talking about lunch-time instead of evening since we both have young families to attend to after work. The down-side is that you pretty much need to take a long lunch (maybe not so bad) but it can't be 3 hours, either.

[Scott Murphy]

I would be interested!

[John Wang]

Is this a user group? I mean, I know that Aloha on Rails is this fall, so I wasn't sure if this is something associated with it or not.

[Daniel Leuck]

Right now its just an online group, but Ken is proposing it also be a user group with meetings. We definitely support this idea.

John Wang: Is this a user group?

[Ken Mayer]

It's a 'convention' I've seen around: #{city_name}.rb acting as the name of a local user group (also makes a great twitter hash). Sam has been task-loaded with twins, so Honolulu Coders has been dormant. I would like to see more face to face community interaction and there seems to be enough rubyists / ruby on rails / ruby cocoa interest out there.

Seth Ladd is working on an Aloha on Rails conference for Fall 2009; that should be very exciting.

I've got a few topics (at least to fill a few sessions worth)

• Stupid Capistrano tricks.
• RadiantCMS
• Rails 2.3
• Merb Heart Rails
• CruiseControl.rb
• ...

Or HonoluluCoders['ruby'] :-)

[Brian Kirsch]

I would be very interested in participating in a Ruby / Rails users group :)

Am interested in meeting up other ROR programmers. Just started playing with ruby recently.

[Timothy Little]

This thread seems to have died out in March. Did anything get set up for this meeting?
