Contegix has been hosting the initial meetings of the Gateway Groovy Users, a group dedicated to Groovy and Grails.  The first two meetings were on the small side ( 6 people ) but they were productive.  Plans are underway for our first “big” meeting.

Contegix is the natural place to host a group for Groovy and Grails, since both of these open source projects are part of codehaus.org, which is hosted at Contegix.  Attendees to our meetings have the unique privilege of being in the hallowed halls that house the main source code repository of the tools they love!

If you are already using Groovy or Grails (or Griffon) or are interested in these technologies, please join us at our next meeting on Wednesday, March 11, 2009 at 6:30pm.  We will be having a presentation on developing desktop GUI applications with Groovy.  Then, for those who want to stay, we will be starting on a group project.  It promises to be a great learning experience and a lot of fun.

Hope to see you there!
