I have no presumptions about how many folks in Southwest Virginia are JavaScript programmers and jQuery fans, but given the nice interface jQuery has given for meetups (they are using ning under the hood), I thought I’d set up a meetup for Roanoke / Blacksburg / New River Valley folks who program in JavaScript.
If you’re interested, sign up at http://meetups.jquery.com/group/southwestvirginia and this will happen sooner rather than later!
