Where are the Rubyists in Bournemouth?
Hello? Is anyone out there?
I’m looking for other Rubyists in the Bournemouth area. There doesn’t seem to be a local Ruby User Group and so I’ve created a basic entry for one for Bournemouth at RubyHolic. Are there any other ruby guys or girls anywhere near me? I’d love to meet you.
I’m not very good at this whole organising groups thing, so be gentle when it comes to arranging a meet up 
Since I didn’t see an option to add personal member details at rubyholic I’ll introduce myself here:
I’ve been using Ruby since 2+ years ago when I started using Rails. I work with it professionally as web developer and sysadmin for a local Bournemouth web design/development company called SonicIQ (SonicIQ are hiring by the way). I’m interested in all things Ruby and am currently working on a simple Ruby/SDL-based tile engine in my spare time among other various projects. I’m mostly a Linux guy and try to attend the local LUG with some kind of regularity but I also love my MacBook.

I live in Bournemouth but I’m on a ship in the Gulf at the moment as I’m in the Navy.
I plan to learn RoR and probably get into it in a big way over the next few months.
It’s good to see RoR is being developed in Bourne, hopefully I will get good enough to bring something to the table in the future but at the mo I am very much a newbie.
I am also thinking about buying a mac because I’m getting sick of PC’s being rubbish.
Feel free to contact me.
