I launched a meetup when I moved to a new city that targeted self-starter developers of any sort. I knew some folks in that category would be entrepreneurs naturally or that I could convince them :-) You can launch your own with us. I'm trying to template our once-a-month freeform hackathon approach so anyone (like you) can launch a "Code Until Dawn" meetup in their town. * http://codeuntildawn.com http://codeuntildawn.com * http://meetup.com/codeuntildawn http://meetup.com/codeuntildawn I was and still in truth am a beginner developer, and I took that time to continue learning and asking for advice. It was one of the best decisions I've made professionally. The community may be disparate in your city, but you can stand as a magnet for the right kinds of folks just by making an effort to organize.
