[Wsuug] ken - ruby - what's up dude

[Ken Collins]

Albert (or just J or something else???),

Thank you very much. The thing I learned in all of this, it is VERY  
hard to put an event like that together. From getting speakers  
together, to designing/developing the site, sponsors, etc, etc. Thank  
god my day job let's me take downtime for weeks on end for side  
projects. I really did not anticipate it being that much work but the  
results are good for everyone and we got great feedback for future  
events.

About the two groups, not sure what "webcomm" is, but I think that  
strong vertical groups like WSUUG, 757rb, 757objc, PHPUG, TWUUG, etc  
are important and could serve their purpose in ways that separate  
groups only can. It was possible that when Andrew approached me a few  
years ago about that, I and the group were to immature for me to  
understand that and I may have not been so eloquent in expressing  
that. That said, from what I've seen the result of separate strong  
groups are positive entities and working together where we overlap can  
only have additional positive results.

Cant wait till tonight!

  - Cheers,
     Ken
