[Albert](http://albert.delamednoll.se/), of the South Swedish Rails community, noted he’d be travelling to talk Ruby on Rails, and that secretly he [wished for a community nearby](http://albert.delamednoll.se/articles/2006/01/11/travelling-in-the-name-of-rails).
Why the heck not.
This is an open invite for you, my buddies, who are using Ruby on Rails (for anything) to come have a sit-down with other Rails users.
Albert suggests Copenhagen, Malmö or Lund as locations for the meetup. What’s best for you?
(I could muster two or three friends, as well.)
FYI, there’s a [wiki page on Ruby User Groups](http://rubygarden.org/ruby?RubyUserGroups), as well, at [RubyGarden](http://rubygarden.org/). The [Danish Group](http://rubygarden.org/ruby?DanishGroup) has not seen a lot of activity. Seems like it needs someone with initiative. That might be us, dear reader.
**Update**: [Danish Group](http://rubygarden.org/ruby?DanishGroup) page now updated with a pointer here.
Swedes might also be interested in signing up for [the Rails.se mailing list](http://lists.rails.se/mailman/listinfo/rails).
(I’m setting comments here to unmoderated, for faster feedback.)
[Rubyholic](http://www.rubyholic.com/) is a groups locator for Ruby folks, as well.
I’m in!
(depending on the scheduling, of course)
Been wondering if we had enough people around here to do stuff like that. Thanks for the pointers to those pages. Oh, and Copenhagen would definitely works best for me.
Yeah! It would make sense to place it in Copenhagen, since DHH is danish :P … but there are nice pubs in malmö, around MöllevÃ¥ngen, with cheap beer and nice atmosphere…
What about around the end of february?
Hello there! I live in Malmö (and study in Lund) and use Rails so I’d definitely participate in a meet-up. As Albert says Malmö has nice and cheap pubs that could be a nice meeting place. The university in Lund could most likely provide some conference room through its computer club if we want that. I’ll notify some more people that could be interested. See you.
Hey, as promised, I set up a wiki for the purpose of arranging the meetup here. The temporary address is http://meetup.delamednoll.se/index/show/HomePage, but perhaps we can agree on some name for this meetup group on the first meetup? I know there is a Skåne-Sjaelland Linux User Group, so why dont we call ourselves the SSRUG? .. Other than it rather geeky-sounding acronym I think it is ok. Perhaps someone with an actual aesthetic oriented mind comes up with a better name :)
Super.
Officially, the wiki is now the focal point of this meetup-in-the-making.
Go there!
