    <description>The Scottish Ruby User Group is a collection of people who are linked with Scotland and have an interest in Ruby and, invariably, Rails. We meet every month to have an informal chat about all things Ruby, occasionally with presentations from members and guests. Everybody is welcome and there are no subscriptions/costs involved. It's just an informal chat over a beer with likeminded Rubyists.</description>

    <description>Our brigade is quite small - 4 members only. But we're planning to popularize this cool language in Kharkiv and in Ukraine. We've studied ruby only for few months and were surprised by this new really awesome language.
Our brigade consists of Russian and Ukrainian native speakers, but English is also available.
Our site is not online at the moment, but in future we plan to create it. (may be with your help ;)).
In case you have some questions, please mail to kharkiv.rb@gmail.com.

We'll be glad to meet you!
