If you are planning on attending the first meeting on Oct. 27, please either post a response here or to the mailing list on the Google Group . Also, if you are interested in give a short (or long) presentation at the first meeting (or any meetings in the future) please let me know as well so I can co-ordinate that with you.

Addison-Wesley has graciously agreed to sponsor the first meeting and has donated some Ruby related books and conference pass discounts to the upcoming "Voices That Matter: Professional Ruby Conference" in Boston this November. All those in attendance will be eligible to "win" those items.
