Looks as if the CRB has just gone above the 200 mark on the mailing list. We’ve been growing very strong. We toped 40 people at our meetings this summer. Columbus Ohio is becoming quite the hot bed for Ruby activity.

I’m very proud of this mark. I co-founded the group well over a year and a half ago just hoping to get a few people together to talk about my new found passion. Since then the interest in the group has exploded. We have had some excellent speakers come and join us such as my good friends Jim Weirich and Scott Barron. Recently Josh Schairbaum and Dan Manges, two of our own members were on the Ruby on Rails podcast talking about the success they have had with Ruby on Rails at JPMorgan Chase. We have covered a lot of ground and are looking forward to the year ahead.

In Feburary the CRB will be kicking off the year by co-hosting erubycon, the first conference to focus on Ruby and Ruby on Rails in the Enterprise.
