[Ruby] Finally, a Monthly Meeting Space

[Scott Laird]

Sounds good to me.  Of course, I've been a no-show for about 20
consecutive Tuesdays, so my opinion probably don't count for much :-).

A few local companies have decided to skim a couple hundred bucks off their largesse and rent a few hours at the Seattle Film Forum each month (http://biego.com and http://peepcode.com).
