Is anyone else here from Alaska interested in a ruby users group to meet  
in  
Anchorage once a month? It might be a long shot but I thought i’d put  
the  
possibility of such a group out there if others are interested.

If so, we’ll coordinate some times that work.

Wow! How cool is this? I’ve only been to Anchorage twice, but if I  
ever  
make it back, I really want to attend an alaska.rb meeting. Make sure  
you  
register your Ruby Brigade over at [rubyholic.com](http://rubyholic.com). Good luck and keep us  
informed of how things are going.

I’m corssposting this to the ruby-talk mailing list since I didn’t see  
it there.

Thank you for the interst pat. I hope some local Alaskans take notice of  
this opportunity and jump on board! We’d be the frozen chosen of the  
ruby  
community 🙂

if you guys come up with mailing list put me on it. i’m in boulder,  
colorado  
now - but grew up in, and still visit regularly, the frozen north.

I’m an Anchorage resident who’d definitely be interested in this.
