I’ve noticed several things recently that made me think that  
getting some level of collaboration among the various  
Rubyist organizations would be a good thing.

There are a number of groups within several hours of each  
other in the North East, would they be able to get together  
for a regional RubyConf, or just share information about  
meetings so that people could drive for a bit to attend  
something interesting with another group?

At least three groups are setting up Ruby Hackiing nights  
on Tuesdays. Would it be interesting to have all of those  
groups working on a single project, communicating via  
irc, and sharing a common scm?

If you’ve read this far (and haven’t dismissed me as a  
nutjob), I think we ought to do something about this.  
I’ve set up a google group:  
[http://groups.google.com/group/Ruby-Brigades](http://groups.google.com/group/Ruby-Brigades)

If you run, or help run, a group, please join up and  
let’s talk about making our groups better, combining  
our efforts, recommending presenters, etc.
