RailsConf 2008

Nashville Dynamic Languages mailing list

Posted by rick Fri, 24 Feb 2006 14:29:00 GMT

I’ve set up a Google Groups mailing list for the Nashville Dynamic Languages group—which is a pretty informal social and technical group of people (predominantly located in Nashville) who are interested in dynamic programming languages (Smalltalk, Ruby, Lisp, Io, etc.). We had a get-together earlier in the week to test the waters and had a really good turn out. There’s a heavy Ruby (+ Ruby on Rails) bent, but there’s a lot of interest as well in other languages.

We’ll have another meeting soon here in town—we’ll sort the details out on the mailing list.

UPDATE: I’ve also secured the (oh so hard to acquire) domain name NASHDL.ORG in case we want to put together some sort of website.
