Ruby.mn; jsmn; android, iOS, and dozens of other meetup groups for developers and users of software platforms... I think TCLUG remains small because there are just not a lot of fans, and we are not organizing or promoting the group. I'm sure the moderators or the people who used to do that would welcome more enthusiasm and volunteer work. (There are even a few prominent RedHat employees in town we could talk to about sponsoring meetings.) Chris -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
