Something great is on the brink of happening. Something all of Ruby speaking Belgium has been waiting for. A void in our Ruby loving heart is about to be filled. If you listen carefully, you can hear the joyful whistle of this joyous event speeding towards you. No, I’m not talking about the convoy of Coca-Cola® trucks, I’m talking about the first ever Belgian Ruby User Group meeting.

XaoP has taken it upon itself to organize the first Belgian Ruby User Group, or BRUG meeting. This is the occasion for Ruby users to meet kindred spirits, to indulge in general nerdiness with a strong focus on Ruby and Rails, to share all of Ruby’s goodness with people who know how to appreciate it. And the DateTime we are going to be doing all that on is Wednesday, October 3 at 19h.

The program for our first meeting will consist of bonding, a presentation on metaprogramming in Ruby, and sandwiches. Future activities may include working on projects in groups, pair programming, and pizza. If this sounds like fun, head over to the brug-talk mailing list where we hang out outside BRUG meetings and join us. If we are to put Ruby on the Belgian map, if we are to build a bridge between Ruby and our tiny country, then we need all of you Ruby enthusiasts to join what we hope will be a vibrant community so we can show everyone that Ruby lives here in Belgium!
