DetroitRuby is a group of brave rubyists that meet on the second Thursday of every month in downtown Detroit at the recently renovated Compuware building just beside Campus Martius. Folks in attendance have a wide variety of knowledge from ruby to erlang to java.  Topics of discussion tend to have a some web technology or strategy around them.  We embrace open source and welcome people of any skill level to learn and maybe even teach us a thing or two.

The group meets regularly for an hour presentation, followed by a discussion. Software engineers, information architects, business analysts, technical managers who are interested in the information retrieval field are welcome to participate and present.
