That's a good question. A lot of places. I've met a lot of likeminded folks at Minnedemo/Minnebar events (see http://minnestar.org http://minnestar.org), and just through working/networking, and the local Ruby group (http://ruby.mn http://ruby.mn). Tech.MN has a pretty thorough local event calendar: http://tech.mn/events/ http://tech.mn/events/ One group that seems to be gaining momentum is a newish MN Lean Startup group. http://leanstartup.mn/ http://leanstartup.mn/ But yeah, there are many great people here doing many cool things. Would love to see posts about folks in other cities doing or trying similar things. Silicon Valley is great and all, but not everyone wants or even needs to be there. I'm sure the Twin Cities is not the only place with a lot of enthusiastic folks creating the tech culture they want to see around them...
