hi Andy. The BRUG is pretty much defunct i'm afraid - there's never been enough of a critical mass of ruby devs in brighton to keep it going. The london RUG is very active though - maybe you could try them? They have regular events which you could present at - that would probably be a better bet than just coming in with a "We're looking for..." email. <div>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Max,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Sorry to email you out of the blue. I have been given you details by Caroline Morris over at Wired Sussex as I am looking for someone plugged into the Brighton Ruby Usergroup.
<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are about to embark on the process of re-building our video enabled learning tool (iris connect). Things are really taking off for us and the time has come to make our application much more scalable. For this we are envisioning a team
of 2 or 3 ruby developers and need to get the right blend together asap. <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My problem is that I’m not really plugged into the developer community and really need the team to be right. Could you advise me at all? We would be happy to host an event to explain our plans or potentially sponsor the curries and beers
at a user group event? Promise not to barge in there like recruitment consultants!<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Please let me know what you think, happy to discuss over a beer in town if your about?<u></u><u></u></p>
