San Diego isn't too bad as far as general hacker stuff. We have a Ruby user group that meets at UCSD, an agile/extreme programming group, and a Django user group. Not too bad.

Sounds interesting from a technical perspective. What about Lean Startups and other entrepreneurial stuff?

This has a pretty comprehensive overview of the sort of events people are organizing here: http://www.sdtechscene.org/

For people in our field, the entrepreneurial stuff pales in comparison to the SF Bay Area.

Looks like there's at least one really cool coworking spot though:

I still miss the coffeeshops down there, especially the 24 hour ones like Lestat's:

I moved to SF from SD in late 05 and there wasn't much of a startup scene outside of biology or wireless hardware. Has that changed much since? Any YC alum down there?

I'd like to get a Scala users group added to this list. Any Scala users or enthusiasts in San Diego?

I'm very interested in working on a Scala open source project this summer. But I'm still pretty new to the language.

SD is no SF, but I think you'll find the SD HN meetup to your liking if you're already hanging out here on HN. Come on by!

Thanks for the invite - I'm still up here in SF, just curious about what's going on in my hometown. Cruising through the member list, I only found one startup: http://phonehalo.com Everyone else looks like CS students or researchers, is that right?

There have been attendees from three other startups, at some phase in development (one just started, one company supports its founders, and one person sold a company and is working on their second).

I'm possibly interested in a Scala users group.

(Translation: I'm thinking of moving back to SD, we'll see in a couple of weeks.)

I guess that means count me in as a "maybe", which might be good enough to kick things off.

It's a shame I'm feeling so shitty today, or I'd be going. I've been wanting to go to the SD HN meetups for a few months now. :(

Also, how can I get prior notice of when the meetups are? I always here about it day of, which is part of why I've never gone.

They are usually the last Friday of every month. If we move it to another day, it will be mentioned on our mailing list.
