SUMMARY
Two members discussed how to reach more people interested in Ruby.
DETAILS
- On this Friday afternoon, Steve and Ken talked about the San Francisco Bay Ruby Users Group (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ba-rb/)and the content of their minutes. They are a relatively active RUG, which recently acquired http://www.ba-rb.org/.
- In an effort to reach out to the DC community AMRUG created small business cards and posted them on numerous bulletin boards in the Adams Morgan business community. The cards had different Yahoo addresses and had words on them promoting AMRUG, using scripting language software for nonprofits and schools. This effort was looked upon as an experiment in trying to reach out to the community. Here's a list of the shops with bulletin boards that were visited: Fleet Feet; So's Your Mom; Used Bookstore; Franklyn's; Jolt N Bolt; 18th Street Hardware; Tryst; Natural Foodstore.
- The business card on bulletin boards did not yield any new contacts or interest.
