Ruby Groups: Act Locally - Think Globally
summary
There are thousands of local groups and one can move a tiny meetup from five or six stuck members to a healthy 25–40 average by doing specific things: register on meetup.com, tweet a local hashtag, run a Facebook group and blog, recruit students, run cross‑group projects with Rochester RB and Pittsburgh, host guest talks via Google Hangout with Q&A on GitHub, run open hack nights, organize a regional meetup and secure a sponsor that brings 35 people to a launch night.
