acts_as_community

Well, actually the domain is forwarded to our new [bham.actsascommunity.com][../../../../groups/22-b-ham-on-rails] page. So is BhamRuby.org, the domain that Jorma set up to start this group back in ’07. We will now be doing our digital gathering on this social networking platform, as well as our physical gatherings in various brew houses and coffee shops about town. I look forward to meeting some more Bellingham Rubyists!

I just got back from RailsConf in Portland a few weeks ago, and I am pretty inspired by the quality of this community. That’s where I learned about Intridea (the people behind this app). A couple of their guys gave a talk about their experience doing the RailsRumble, one of which was the Grand Prize winner courtesy of Josh Owens and team. It’s called TastyPlanner, and I got my wife to start using it to cook at home this week, and our greek spaghetti dinner last night was delicious! See how Rails helps people improve the quality of their lives!?

Maybe a couple members of this group can form up for the 2008 Rumble. Just let me know so I can start brainstorming. I may have a few ideas up my sleeve already.
