Hi all, On the 28th of January the first amsterdam.rb meeting will be celebrated with beers. Come to Nieuwmarkt square[1] to join us for beers at “De Bekeerde Suster”[2]. There’s no website yet, no plans on what or why amsterdam.rb should exist, but we do have a google group; “amsterdam.rb”[3]. See you next week?

I am not sure what the second meeting will be like (beers of presentations or both) but we did decide on the last monday of the month, that’s the 25th this februari. Please I’ll announce the second meeting on this list, if that’s ok. Remco ---

I think I can safely say that last night was a resounding success., so let me give a big thank-you to everyone that came along and made the place so friendly and full of Ruby-chit-chat. 🙂 I took a few photos last night (sadly the lighting was pretty poor) and popped them online. You can see them here: > **[Amsterdam.rb](https://www.flickr.com/groups/amsterdam-rb/?rb=1)** > > The Amsterdam Ruby User Group We also have a spiffy website. OK, the design might have some minor room for growth ;-): [http://rubyandrails.org/usergroups/amsterdam/](http://rubyandrails.org/usergroups/amsterdam/) I’m looking forward to next month already. It will indeed be on the last Monday of the month (25th in this case). The current plan is to use the same venue again, but maybe we might offers of a nicer venue with presentation facilities and a few willing presenters… Oh, and Charlie, if you need a place to stay in Amsterdam, just give me a shout.
