My company is very intersted in starting a user group in the Hudson Valley New York region, for all things web development, with a strong focus on Ruby and Rails, and web design.
We have plenty of office space to host the event, so if your'e a web programmer, web designer, or just interested in web development, drop me a line so we can discuss.
I'm guessing the number of Rails developers around the Kingston, Poughkeepsie, Newburgh areas is relatively small, so I figure some introduction to web development with Rails should be the first order of business.
Developers and designers of all skill levels are welcome to attend.
