Executive Summary

Out of six Bay Area Ruby groups, only one appears to be active.
As the maintainer of the "SF Bay Area Scripting Groups&quot; page
(http://cfcl.com/rdm/bass/groups.php) and an active Rubyist,
I'm curious whether this is due to Summer vacations or something
more fundamental.

Details

Tonight (8/21) is listed as a meeting night, but the

Bay Ruby Meetup will be posted here soon.";
