Hey Ruby people, looking to do a startup? Startup Weekend is an intense Friday-Sunday event where we gather entrepreneurs and help them form teams and take their business concepts from idea to launch in just 54 hours. Startup Weekend itself is a non-profit run out of Seattle that has held events in over 100 cities around the world.
During the weekend teams of developers, designers, and business people cooperate to launch new startups. We also bring in a group of experienced entrepreneurs and investors to act as mentors and advisors for teams. You don't have to bring an idea and team to participate, and any project is fair game. Of course Ruby is a great platform for events like this, so you can put your skills to work on some great projects. If you have a startup idea, want to join a startup, or are looking to learn from experienced mentors, this is the place to be. Check out the Startup Weekend website for more information at http://sandiego.startupweekend.org. Bonus: Members of the SD Ruby group get a discount off Startup Weekend tickets using code 'startmeup'. -- SD Ruby mailing list [email protected] http://groups.google.com/group/sdruby
