We all know Austin has a great RoR meetup group, but what if you want to work on your RoR projects? This is for those who are pursuing side projects, but hate to do it alone. Feel free to collaborate, work alone, or just chill out.

The Houston Open Development User Group is about all things programming. If it's got source code, we want to know about it. We cover everything from Ruby to Javascript to Python to mobile development. The topics are partially driven by the attendees and what we as a group want to learn more about. If you're a programmer, we want you in our audience. If you have a topic you'd like to see us cover, please recommend a topic via our UserVoice page.

Whether you've never written a line of code or you're the most experienced Rubyist out there, you have something to teach and something to learn. No egos, no intimidation. Come out and experien …

Imagine if there was a place, where at one table an entrepreneur meets her next $100,000 investor. A designer meets a new client, a web developer with a great internet startup. A Ruby engineer meets a charismatic founder that excites him with her vision, so much so that he can picture leaving his day job for the exhilarating experience of working tirelessly for technology stock options that could be worth millions one day...

Calling all DevOps! Are you hacking the next generation of cloud computing on Amazon Web Services (AWS)? We're talking about best practices, security principles, cost accounting, and -- most importantly -- how to scale on the largest public cloud in the (known!) universe! We're language-agnostic but with a decided bent toward scripting languages like Python, Javascript, PHP, Ruby, as well as Java and Scala.
