Alas, I've been searching for a RUG near me, and there seems to be
nothing closer than an hour drive away.  I'm not dedicated enough right
now to drive two hours for a RUG meeting, which means I'm definitely not
dedicated enough to start a RUG myself.  C'est la vie.

On the other hand, LUGs (Linux User Groups) might put you in touch with
some Rubyists in your area.  It might be worth checking into, even if
you don't have any nearby RUGs.
