Introduction:
Good evening folks, trust your week has been superb. The Ruby community is an active one with tons of new stuffs being unleashed daily. Surprisingly, there is no Ruby community in this part of the world (Nigeria). The aim of this post is to see how a community, or preferably, a group of Ruby devotee can be created.

Core Ideology
The top aim of this group is to be actively involved in the development of (1) information technology in Nigeria as a country, Africa as a continent and (2) the Ruby Language which we would do dearly love.
This is WHY this group exists.

HOW
To achieve our core ideology we would do the following:
* Commit to open source projects; by participating in old projects and creating new ones where necessary.
* Provide innovative solution(s) to problems we discover in our country and Africa at large.
* Collaborate with other organization in actualizing our core ideology where necessary.
* Ensure the development of every member of the team as its important in fulfilling our aim.

The Team
It promises to be fun. We have a serious task at hand; one that must not be taken lightly. To join, one must meet these requirements:

* Ruby Devotee: you don't have to be a full stack ruby developer. You just have to love Ruby and MUST have started learning.
* Student: No one knows it all. We are committed to ensuring everyone on the team upgrades continuously, thus you must be ever ready to learn. Its going to be rigorous!
* Location: Preferred location is Lagos.

Entry
To come on board:
* Send a mail to: lagosruby[at]gmail[dot]com with the title: Ruby Developer Group.
* Suggest a name for the team
* Tell us a little about yourself and why you are a great fit.

All the best.
