We do have small, yet vibrant Ruby community in the Boston.

We have regular monthly Boston Ruby Group meetings (every 2nd Tuesday of the month). In fact, there’s one tonight.

boston.rb has also been started recently, largely inspired by seattle.rb. The idea is that we get together on the 1st and 3rd Tuesday of the month, hack on some code for a couple of hours, and eventually produce something worthwhile.

Some of the things we’ve done at these hackfests so far:

I myself only started getting involved in the past few months. It’s pretty surprising though, because I feel like I’ve grown a lot as a rubyist in just this short time, all from getting to know other locals, and learning from their ways.

If you’ve living in isolation from your Ruby community, I highly suggest you check it out. Who knows what you might learn?
