If something regular forms, I might drop by next time I'm up that way. I
won't be a regular since a 700-mile round trip is a bit much, though.

i'm in boulder and i'd love to talk ruby.

added you to the list michael. i'll send more news soon.
ciao.

I'm interested as well and I'm in Broomfield. I'm currently working on
a VOIP test environment written mostly in Ruby at a local telecom and
would like to touch bases with others using Ruby.

Ooh, spiffy stuff. I've been looking at how hard it would be to use
Ruby as a control language for Asterisk. Neat stuff, that.

Yeah, Asterisk is a cool project and Ruby would make a great control language.
The problem that I've been working on though, revolve around controlling various
pieces of VOIP test equipment in a distributed lab environment and providing a
way of certifying a complete VOIP switching environment that may be made up of
hundreds of computing nodes. Since I have modules that live on each node, it
becomes a big distributed computing problem. There has to be a central system
that controls the testing and report success/problems/failure as well.
Fun stuff 
and Ruby (with Drb and Rinda) is good at it, too!
This is the first project that I've been able to openly use Ruby and the only
reason that I have the latitude to this is because last year I finished another
distributed systems project under time and under budget using Ruby without
asking permission. This system has required zero maintenance and has been running
since last June. It is made up of over 2000 nodes scattered around the world.
It's sad that companies don't put more faith in their engineering staffs decision
making.

Yup, Ruby is great for this sort of thing...

Thanks. I wasn't aware of that project and it is certainly applicable.
In some respects, it is very similar to what I've already implemented.
