The Ruby Users Forum in the Ruby on Rails Podcast
I joined David to discuss the project's origins and the need for a persistent gathering place for the Ruby community.

At the end, we talked about what comes next for the Ruby User Forum, how developers and companies can support it, and why the Ruby community should continue creating, experimenting, and doing things simply because it's fun.
