One of the things I find most important for any profession or hobby is being among people who share your passion for the particular subject. I have been faced with the challenge of finding Ruby User Groups in my area but where does one look? I finally came across the answer in an article at RubyInside.com
It describes how to find Ruby User Groups (RUGS) anywhere in the world. So if you’re like me and looking for a place to share your ideas and have some fun you can have a look at these websites as well as take a look at the full article (which includes maps) to find the RUG closest to you!
