I have been hearing a lot about workshops and/or groups of Ruby on  
Rails users meeting up in numerous cities, but I haven’t been too  
successful finding any such gatherings or events in Boston. On the  
wiki there is a link to a Boston group for Ruby, but the page refuses  
to load. Anyone from the Boston area know of anything?

Cheers,

I am trying to start a Rails and Ruby focus group or user group.  
Exploring  
integrated Rails environments and superhosting systems with two-phase  
multidatabase connections. All topics welcome. Will provide food and a  
place to  
meet.

I also would be interested in Rails groups in Boston.

The boston ruby group has an email list at:

Here’s a boston ruby group [http://boston.rubygroup.org/](http://boston.rubygroup.org/) Not sure of the  
state of this group?

At [meetup.com](http://meetup.com) there are some interested in ruby.  
[http://ruby.meetup.com/lists/us/ma/boston/](http://ruby.meetup.com/lists/us/ma/boston/)

I’m interested in a Rails/Ruby group. I’m from greater Lowell area also.
