Hi All,

Some of the oldies of Ruby and Rails across various places in India
have joined together and come out with a Nationalized Group for Ruby
on Rails. We call it the INDIARUBYCONSORTIUM(IRC).

Many ask “when I have BRUG or Pune Ruby or Chennai.rb, etc., then why
IRC?”. The reason was simple… to bring a system which can take up the
best practices across the groups and promote them to other groups… for
example… BangaloreRUG did a good BugMash a fortnight back… where as
Pune Ruby and MumbaiRUG do hackfests and they have been doing it for a
long time… Which is great and other groups should also implement them.

Also as part of IRC, we had discussions on how to setup and run Ruby
Users groups… We had discussions with people who showed  interests in
creating a group in Hyderabad and Trivandrum … and during this
discussions we really Started the Ahmedabad Ruby and Rails Groups
(http://groups.google.com/group/ahmedabad-ruby-on-rails-group).

What others will we do as part of IRC? We shall provide a one stop directory to

All Groups available for Ruby and Rails
All Rubyists in the country
All Ruby  based activities / Events that take place in India
Promote all the Open Source activities as contributed by Indians to
the Ruby world
Promote all the Websites built using Ruby on Rails by Indians and For Indians
Educate people via Ruby/Rails monthly magazines
Provide details about all training activities that take place in India

So basically what we want to achieve is “BY THE RUBYISTS, FOR THE
RUBYISTS AND OF THE RUBYISTS”

SO I WOULD EXTEND A HEARTY INVITATION TO REGISTER TO
WWW.INDIARUBYCONSORTIUM.COM and make one large RUBY Community.

P.S: If you have built any website for Indians or built any open
source product, then you can promote it in the IRC website (You have
to be member first). Use the Contact-us form to send information.

P.S: X-POSTED TO Chennai.rb, Keralarug, puneruby

Thanks and Regards
